GUEST,Cajun Angel Lyr Req: Papa Noel & Petit Papa Noel (32) RE: Lyr Req: Papa Noel (from Brenda Lee) 14 Dec 05


At first, I thought maybe she was saying "See Joe Rivette on my sweet bĂȘte and get me some sugar", bĂȘte (pronounced bet) being a Cajun French word we use for a beast of burden, like a donkey or a horse. I supposed that meant that Joe Rivette might have been riding into town for the fais-do-do on a horse, but then when I started really thinking about it, I thought maybe she was describing Joe Rivette as her "sweet pet," a term of endearment not really used in the Cajun culture. Sugar in "get me some sugar" means affections such as kisses or hugs.
