Storyville
All, you old-time queens from New Orleans
Who live in Storyville (that's us)
You sang the blues, try to amuse
Here's how they pay the bill (yes, hell yes, that's right)
The law stepped in and called it sin to have a little fun
The police car has made a stop, and Storyville is done
Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
A slo-ow train
Pick out your steamboat, farewell to Storyville
Who live in Storyville (that's us)
You sang the blues, try to amuse
Here's how they pay the bill (yes, hell yes, that's right)
The law stepped in and called it sin to have a little fun
The police car has made a stop, and Storyville is done
Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
A slo-ow train
Pick out your steamboat, farewell to Storyville
