New Orleans
In the south land, there's a city
Way down on the river
Where the women are very pretty
And all the men deliver
They got music
It's always playin'
Start in the day time, go all through the night
When you hear that music playin'
Hear what I'm saying and make it feel alright
Grab somebody, come on down.
Bring your paintbrush, we're painting the town
Oh there's some sweetness going around
Catch it down in New Orleans
We got magic, good and bad
Make ya happy, or make ya real, sad
Get everything you want or lose what you have
Down here in New Orleans
Hey partner, don't be shy
Come on down here and give us a try
You wanna do some livin' before you die
Do it down in New Orleans
Stately homes and mansions
Of the Sugar Barons and Cotton Kings
Rich people, poor people, all got dreams
Dreams do come true in New Orleans
Way down on the river
Where the women are very pretty
And all the men deliver
They got music
It's always playin'
Start in the day time, go all through the night
When you hear that music playin'
Hear what I'm saying and make it feel alright
Grab somebody, come on down.
Bring your paintbrush, we're painting the town
Oh there's some sweetness going around
Catch it down in New Orleans
We got magic, good and bad
Make ya happy, or make ya real, sad
Get everything you want or lose what you have
Down here in New Orleans
Hey partner, don't be shy
Come on down here and give us a try
You wanna do some livin' before you die
Do it down in New Orleans
Stately homes and mansions
Of the Sugar Barons and Cotton Kings
Rich people, poor people, all got dreams
Dreams do come true in New Orleans
