Lyrics to “The Threadhead Song”

From John Boutte’s and Paul Sanchez’s “Stew Called New Orleans”

The Threadhead Song

we’re music lovin’, Fest goin’,
come on be a Threadhead
we’re totem flying. crawfish eatin’,
come on be a Threadhead
clap your hands, second line, it’s so fine
having a Threadhead state of mind
we’re Patry goin’, beer flowin’
come on be a Threadhead

we’re no sleepin’, board postin’
come on be a Threadhead
we’re butt shaking, bar hoppin’,
come on be a Threadhead
slinging beers at Lena C’s, dancing with the band,
jello shots and Barry’s brownies
hat wearin’, bread donatin’
come on be a Threadhead

we’re Frenchmen rolling, Rock n’ Bowlin’
come on be a Threadhead
we’re lagniappe totin’, meet at the show
come on be a Threadhead
sending love from me to you
the kids cafe and dancing with the Zulus
we’re music lovin’, Fest goin’,
come on be a Threadhead
