Don't mess with my toot toot
Don't mess with my toot toot
Now you could have the other woman
But don't mess with my toot toot
Well, she was born in her birthday suit
The doctor slap her behind
He said, 'You're gonna be special!'
My sweet little Toot-toot...
A-you can look as much
But if you much as touch
We gonna have a case
I'm gonna break your face
Don't mess with my toot toot
Don't mess with my toot toot
Now you could have the other woman
But don't mess with my toot toot
She look good in her bikini suit
Makes a man feel fine
She's my one, she's special
She's my Haute, she's mine
Don't mess with my toot toot
Don't mess with my toot toot
Now you could have the other woman
But don't mess with my toot toot
I'm just a partyin' man
From the cajun land
You need a toot-toot train,
I'll be your toot-toot man
Don't mess with my toot toot
Don't mess with my toot toot

Matt DeHarp France
Matt DeHarp is a wandering frenchman who likes US folk music. Go see him strum his guitar, honk away on his harps and sing
you some songs somewhere near you
.
Du cajun au Blues, du Swing au Bal-Musette, des chansons caustiques dans des tons acoustiques, entre une clef de sol qui vous attrape au vol et des harmonicas qui font bien la java.

Matt & The Bayou Dogs
by Matt & The Bayou Dogs
Matt's Otherside Project, a raucous, rollicking, rythmic riot into the raw muck of Louisiana's homegrown musical tradition. Mighty cajun and zydeco sounds mixed with brazilian savoir-faire !
