Funk's Groove

I been walkin' down from the Treme, take the ferry out to Algiers
That's the place where I'll see my baby
Get some love and have a few beers
She's the one that makes my heart flutter
She's the one that's so good to me
She can make my legs turn to butter, she can make me weak in the knees
With a love as deep as a river and a heart that's big as Pontchartrain
Every day is gonna be Christmas, every night's a toast of champagne
Eyes so big they sparkle and glitter
Smile so bright she knocks me out cold
I'm with her I feel like a winner, all dressed up in purple and gold

Hand in hand we walk through the Quarter
Take the streetcar heading uptown
Make our way on over to Oak Street
That's the spot she loves to get down
Man out front, he's got a big cooler
Purple Haze, it's filled to the brim
Keep on giving him all my dollars 'til my wallet starts to get slim
Yeah you know it's got to be Tuesday
Rebirth playing at the Maple Leaf
Never know which players might show now, Papa Gros or maybe Big Chief
Let's get in, we'll get a good spot now, grab a table next to stage
We can dance all night 'til they stop us
Make the night last into the day

We be hanging out on St Charles, waiting here until we see Rex
Step in line, sashay down Canal St, see if I can be the king next
She looks like a modern Aphrodite
She looks like the Queen of Carnival
She can make me feel so mighty, she can make me holler and howl
Hurry up, parade's getting started, got to try to catch us some throws
Maybe get a shoe from the Muses, maybe gonna catch her a rose
Afterwards we storm the casino, maybe win us drinks for the night
Makes me feel so good to be her beau
Yeah you know she's so out of sight
