A-where those bayou's wind
      And them gators swim
      Sometime late last night
      A-when the moon was dim
      A-someone left this life
      Much against his will
      And while Gyp the Cat was alibi-in'
      You know his clothes were dryin'.

 

      Down on Bourbon Street
      Where them tourists roam
      Some big financier
      Travelin' far from home 
      Lost his fancy watch
      And his wallet, too
      And while to his story
      A-Gyp was stickin'
      His brand new watch kept tickin'.

 

      There's a blown out safe
      In the city hall
      Standin' open wide
      Up against the wall
      And though Gyp the Cat, huh
      Has got a lotta dough
      Is the money his
      Or part of plunder?
      Gyp says, “Go and wonder.” 

 

      There's a fishin' fleet
      Anchored in the bay
      Everybody knows
      Shrimps and oysters pay
      But when Gyp the Cat 
      Was refused his share
      Somehow nets got cut
      And the take was way off
      ‘til Gyp got his payoff.

 

      Ahhhhh … the legend goes
      That they buried him
      But nobody knows
      That he had a twin
      And at the services
      Everybody cried
      'ceptin' one peculiar smilin' mourner
      Pickin' pockets in a corner
      While they set his brother in the ground
      Get the feeling Gyp is still around.
