Honey we got to get out from underneath this landlord
Find ourselves a home of our dreams
But everywhere we look 'round here we can't afford
So I've been branching out the search to greater New Orleans
I know Uptown and Mid-City
Have always been your scene
But what if I found us a place out in the country
That was fit for a queen
You know I'm talking 'bout the castle on Irish Bayou
Don't you think for me and you baby that just might do
The castle on Irish Bayou
That's where I wanna lay myself beside you
The castle on Irish Bayou
I know you're worried 'bout leaving all your friends behind
But I can tell you every weekend
They're gonna wanna come on by
Catch themselves a big ol' catfish
Catch a little sunshine
I know Uptown and Midcity
Have always been your scene
But what about that place on the way to Slidell
Yea you know the one I mean
You know I'm talking 'bout the castle on Irish Bayou
Mister real estate man tell me what kinda check I got to write you
For the castle on Irish Bayou
Don't you think for me and you that just might do
For the castle on Irish Bayou
I've been thinking 'bout it every single weekend
I can't get it out of my brain
And I know you're wondering what I'm thinking
That I might sound insane
But let me take you out on a boat
When it don't look like rain
I'mma take you 'cross that big ol' mote
They call the Pontchartrain
Out to that castle on Irish Bayou
Mister real estate man tell me what kinda check I got to write you
For the castle on Irish Bayou
Me oh my, me oh me oh my-oh
The castle on Irish Bayou
