Cajun stylee song lyrics

the waft of the years fell upon me
as several wrinkles will show
I was hooked up with some melancholy
and looking for somewhere to go

so don't mind if I ramble on sadly
it's not that I'm made out of soap
if you can't stand a little blue ragging
then there really ain't so much to hope

it's the song of the man whose touched fever
it's the song from the Tuesdays of hell
but I ain't gonna always be leaner
pretty soon I'll be feeling just swell

when the folks that I loved up and died
I was mourning and grieving a while
but at least their departure allowed
that I had other reasons to smile

so if you see some old man in the car park
staggering twixt trolleys and cars
then it's probably just me in the dark
trying to land me some new story-scars

it's the song of the man whose touched fever
it's the song from the Tuesdays of hell
but I ain't always gonna be leaner
pretty soon I'll be feeling just swell

pretty soon I'll be feeling just swell
pretty soon I'll be feeling just swell
