(Walt Wilkins)

Home from church now, let your hair down
It's the Lord's favorite day
There's a dance river tavern, where the drums and fiddles play.
So wear your new shoes, your red boots
Your dress I can't forget

Like to watch you dance around me
Like rain in Lafayette.

Summer's coming, my brain is humming
Something only you can do.
And the way your eyes are smiling
I know mine must be shining too.
Your my lovely, my only
My one, my alouette

Like to watch you dance around me
Like rain in Lafayette

So let the rain fall, can't hurt us at all
Get as wet as we can get

Like to watch you dance around me
Like rain in Lafayette

So let the rain fall, can't hurt us at all
Get as wet as we can get
Like to watch you dance around me like rain in Lafayette.
