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
