[Verse 1]
He can’t hold his liquor, can’t hold his drink
Doesn’t matter if it’s his birthday, he’ll drop the cake
When he starts speaking cursive, you know the drinks will fly
He’s Lonniebonnie till I die, Cajun till I die
[Chorus]
Lonniebonnie, raise him high
One more toast and watch him fly
Cake on the floor, hat in the sky
He’s Lonniebonnie till I die
Cajun till I die
[Verse 2]
He walks in steady with a grin on his face
Leaves by midnight in a completely different place
He’ll hug the jukebox, challenge the band, then swear he’s doing fine
He’s Lonniebonnie till I die, Cajun till I die
[Chorus]
Lonniebonnie, raise him high
One more toast and watch him fly
Cake on the floor, hat in the sky
He’s Lonniebonnie till I die
Cajun till I die
[Bridge]
Pass the boudin, clear the chair
He’s telling stories everywhere
If his words start bending sideways
Better move that birthday cake
[Final Chorus]
Lonniebonnie, raise him high
One more toast and watch him fly
Cake on the floor, hat in the sky
He’s Lonniebonnie till I die
Cajun till I die
[Outro]
He can’t hold his liquor, can’t hold his drink
But he holds the whole room laughing till the morning breaks
