Vida's got a place - that's way down low Way up off the street - like you're down in a hole Back in the alley - oh, it's down on the flat... You go down there, maybe you ain't comin' back She's strong willed woman - and she's something to see She's got a beehive hairdo and a gap in her teeth Standin' in the line, oh the people take 'em a peek She takes nothin' from nobody - on any day of the week Down at vida's place - down at vida's place They come from all around - they come from way cross town... You can come on down... come on down to Vida's place She was born out on the bayou and she grew up in need Way down in louisiana, she was a cajun queen She married young, then her man left her behind Anything you can give... she'll handle it and take her time... Down at vida's place - down at vida's place They come from all around - they come from way cross town... You can come on down... come on down to Vida's place
