    CREOLE:

    Gardé piti mulet là “Musjeu Bainjo”,

        La com’ li insolent!

    Chapeau sul’ côté,

        Soulié qui fait “Circ-crac”

    gardé piti mulet là, “Musieu Bainjo,”

        La com’ li insolent!

     

    Gardé piti mulet là “Musjeu Bainjo”,

        La com’ li insolent!

    Foular á la pouche

        La canne á la main.

    Gardé piti mulet là, “Musieu Bainjo,”

        La com’ li insolent!

     

     

    ENGLISH:

    See the little mulatto, “Mister Banjo”

        Hasn’t he a saucy air!

    Hat cock’d on one side, 

        New shoes that go “circ-crac”

    See the little mulatto, “Mister Banjo” 

        Hasn’t he a saucy air!

     

    See the little mulatto, “Mister Banjo”

        Hasn’t he a saucy air!

    Kerchief in his vest, 

        Walking-cane in hand. 

    See the little mulatto, “Mister Banjo”

    Hasn’t he a saucy air!
