There are several recordings of the song one of my dogs is named for. I'll put in an amalgam of lyrics below. Also, check out the wonderful Dr. John recording on the album "Gumbo".

Tipitina...tra la la la
Tipitina...tra lalala
Tipitina oola mama won't you tra da de de da

Hey Roberta, oh Roberta
can't you hear me-e-e callin' you
you are three times seven baby
and you know what you want to do

Yeah now boys, we going down on the (bayou?)
