Casia - Lyrics
Eddie Holmes - Composition
Scott W - Lead guitar
Raul Rodriguez Jr. - Vocals, mix and everything else

(V1)
Her name is Miss-Demeanor
A dark-haired senorita
When I saw those wild eyes
I knew I had to meet her

(Pre-chorus)
She took my heart
Tied it to a stake
Set me aflame
That's no mistake

(Chorus)
It's a Misdemeanor
What you've done to me   
A misdemeanor
When you pulled me from the deep, deep freeze 
A Misdemeanor
Now I'm cooking
Mixed into Jambalaya
Oh, Miss-demeanor
I'm Jamba, Jamba, Jambalaya

(Bridge)
Just take one bite
Take a bite
And Baby you'll know 
You will know
I burn from the inside
My heart in tow

(V2)
Just cut up some peppers
Throw in oregano
Pour on the hot sauce
And oh I'm ready to go

(Pre-chorus)
She took my heart
Tied it to a stake
Set me aflame
That's no mistake

(Chorus)
Itsa Misdemeanor
What you've done to me 
A misdemeanor
When you pulled me from the deep freeze
A Misdemeanor
Now I'm cooking
Mixed into Jambalaya
Oh, Miss-demeanor
I'm Jamba, Jamba, Jamba, Jambalaya

(Bridge)
Just take one bite -
Take a bite
And Baby you'll know -
You will know
I burn from the inside
My heart in tow

Oh, what have you done to me
Miss-Demeanor
Pulled me from the deep freeze
Miss-Demeanor
Misdemeano, misdemeanor, Oh, oh, oh

(Chorus)
Itsa Misdemeanor
What you've done to me - 
A misdemeanor
When you pulled me from the deep freeze -
A Misdemeanor
Now I'm cooking
Mixed into Jambalaya
Oh, Miss-demeanor
I'm Jamba, Jamba, Jamba, Jambalaya

This is a song we did last spring but it seems to suit the album so Raul did a remix as it was originally mixed by another mixer.  This is a fun one too that I'm considering sending to cooking shows with Saute Me, Baby  . 

[Studioplayer]

Shades of Santana. This is the only tune out of the bunch that I hear some distinctive guitar. It suits the rest of the music you posted but I sounds much thinner than the rest. A totally different mix. It would have to probably be looked at to fit with the rest of the songs on the album.

Thanks Dave.  I've been informed the file I grabbed isn't Rauls' mix  .  He agrees with you, it's kinda thin.  I'll post the proper one once I get it 

[soulfrontier]

I love it Casia!

Thanks Holger and Stoney.  I've just uploaded Raul's mix (the right one) as they one you were all listening to was somebody else's mix, an old version 

I'm just listening - ahhhh, much better
