Jimmy Buffett - Creola Lyrics
Creola in my soul-a
I loved what they were sayin'
I loved what they were playin'
Creola
Makes me feel like dancin'
Fall in love romancing the melody
Creola, Creola, Creola for me
I remember as a child all the happiness and smiles
That flowed around my grandma's Sunday table
While Auntie Mae was sayin' grace
Papa T would sneak a taste
And catch a funny look from my cousin Mabel
The old folks start to hum
Sing the only songs that we all know
Ambiance so fine, dancin' drinkin' wine
Sing about the lifestyle on the bayou
Creola in my soul-a
I loved what they were sayin'
I loved what they were playin'
Creola
Creola on my victrola
Makes me feel like dancin'
Fall in love romancin' the melody
Creola, Creola, Creola for me
It's in the mood, it's in the blood
It's in the food, it's in the mud
It's a spicy kind of life
Cre-o-la
It's in the mood, it's in the blood
It's in the food, it's in the mud
Creola, Creola, Creola for me
Well the years have come and gone
Still the old song lingers on
I keep it in my heart with fond affection
Like the family good luck charm
That keeps away the harm
Creola's always there for my protection
Creola, good for your soul-a
I loved what they were sayin'
I loved what they were playin'
Creola
Creola on my victrola
Makes me feel like dancin'
You fall in love ramancin' the melody
Creola, Creola, Creola for me

Jimmy Buffett Creola Comments
One only has to close their eyes and let the mental world build and then drift lazily on by accompanied by a smile.
Always loved this one
Awesome
Great tune, surprised this song isn't on any Greatest Hits or Live LPs.
a smooth, relaxing and upbeat favorite
Coconut shrimp and artichokes with Hollandaise listening to JB. Probably not a hit in Creola, but good in Texas on a Sunday.......
I always thought he was singing about Crayons. I drink too much. LOL
My go to tune to raise my spirits.
Sitting on the back patio making a little gravy with Jim on speakers life doesn’t get better than this
Fun fact... Jimmy's daughter Savannah played the Congas on this song and the album (Floridays). 🥰
Jimmy is good mood music
Oh my.... I could drift into oblivion with this lovely song....
What a great song!
A perfect song for a lazy summer day by the water......wherever you are!
We are on vacation at a resort in South Florida that has a lazy river and speakers that play Jimmy Buffett. Today is the first time I've ever heard this song!!!! I went online to see if it was a new song, can't believe it came out in '86!!!!
I could listen to this song on repeat for quite a length of time. Such a beautiful song. Thank you, Jimmy Buffett and band, for giving us such an inspirational song. Truly an unforgettable performance.
I recently stayed at the Margaritaville in Hollywood, FL. Very nice resort
That's where I first heard this song! Now it's our beach time favorite!
This is one of my favourite songs for walking on the boardwalk at Victoria Park on summer nights with a little breeze off the water.
The steel drum riff is unforgettable.
I always love listening to the instrumental part Jimmy buffet puts into every song, Thank You for your talent Mr.Buffet
I have dedicate this song to Lucile's Creole Café several times on KBCO, Boulder, Colorado
I have always loved Jimmy Buffett and Creola was one of my all time favorite songs........ brings backs memories of growing up down on the Gulf Coast
Not necessarily fab, but does remind me of "formative years" on Miss. Gulf Coast.
Thanks Mark, for the inspiration. Just came back from being in Key West for four weeks in March/April. Hated to leave it. I promise myself to one day go back and live there for good. If you hear "Creola" on a victrola, it's me! Cheers!
You're telling Jimmy Buffett how to run his career? Very funny.
By far the best song Jimmy Buffet ever did. If Buffet would have done more performances like this, he would have the respect of serious musicians and not locked in for life by his juvenile, alchohoic Parrot Heads who will ruin any musicians's night with their incessant dribbling of "carnk the buffett". Even worse, if not Buffett, how 'bout Brown Eyed Girl..... puke puke puke. Live long Creola, Buffett, take note.
Respect of serious musicians!!LOLOL....most of them are jealous of there success of this traveling troubadour!!
Ahhh-visions of Cuba and Key West!
GTMO! ahh the tiki bar abd windjammer...balmy evenings on Cable beach
