La Brise du Bayou Louisiana Rap ECards

Here are a few ECards made with lyrics by Louisiana French Rapper, La Brise du Bayou (The Bayou Breeze)

Wake up y'all it's a bad dream! Now, it's time y'all get up! It's the Bayou Breeze up in ya ears. Times have changed, it's not the same!
Hpnotic in my glass. That's it. The club is hot, that's clear, that's it. Drop your ass to the ground that's it. Yeah, that's how we gonna do, That's it.
Drop ya ass, Drop ya ass. Pop it, Pop it, Make it, Bump. Don't stop til ya clothes get wet.

Dear Good Lord, they are attacking me like my name is Osama in the USA.


Don't touch my car! If you try to steal it, it'll tell you, "Viper, Armed"

Yeah, dammed good for nothin, it's astonishing! I am gonna give you something for your toothache.
Yeah, in the streets until the end, we are going to continue speaking Cajun French.

(D)Wayne Ecards


When I taught at the local high school, I had a love/hate relationship with the old school janitor, Dwayne Wayne. He taught me a lot of dirty French, because that's just how he talked. Here are a few of the insults/expressions he hurled at me daily, which I then scribbled down and collected in my "Livre de (D)Wayne"

You need a good slap salad!
I don't want to hear you screaming in the woods, no!

Force your nose in my ass and then fight for air.


Well look at Miss Smith with that little nest of hair on her head! She-devil!


Your brain is just like a little marble.


Here Daddy, It's a little new nothing in a bottomless box! Just like you always wanted.


You can just put your head in the toilet and do like you're swimmin' in the bayou.

Cajun Music ECards 3

The sun is almost set,
my man's not home
Couche-Couche is burning
Caillette hasn't been milked
Go see what time it is!
Go see what time it is!

What's wrong beautiful brunette? It's all for the blondes, and nothing for the brunettes.

Your Mama is mad and you aren't happy! Prairie Ronde is the ruin of the youth!

Lil Nate

Where were you last Wednesday night? Drinking this good sweet wine and talking with a pretty girl who stole my heart from me. Cajun Music Ecards #ediusnaquin

We come from England oh my dear, oh my dear, we come from England! All along the winter's melt!

Pretty Blonde, now just look what you've done!

"Avec un hippity hip and a hippity hop"

Lower your head and fart, that's what's good for a headache. Evangeline Parish saying via LaHaye


Me I am going to get my dogs after you! Lord Lord! Moise Robin


The rabbit stole the pumpkin.


the Good Lord understands in French


Woman, you big no good! You wasted all of my happiness.


Paulina Tate, give me your heart. My heart is promised to John Israel. Edius Naquin
