New Orleans

Sixty-one out of Baton Rouge

Down Louisian'

Heading for the gulf of Mexico

Sun is beating, ain't no breeze

Spanish moss from big old trees

Listening to the cajun radio

Going down on the Mississippi Queen

Going down down down to New Orleans

Corner bands on Jackson Square

Music fills the air

Bon temps roulez, let the good times roll

Tipitina's, second line

Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint

Snooks Eaglin, Doctor John, Fats Domino

Going down on the Mississippi Queen

Going down down down to New Orleans

Crawfish, much as you can eat

Down on Bourbon Street

Oyster po'boy, best I've ever seen

Melting pot of jazz and soul

Blues and rock 'n roll

Creole gumbo, dirty rice 'n beans

Going down on the Mississippi Queen

Going down down down to New Orleans

Professor Longhair dead 'n gone

His spirit lingers on

In the crescent city on lake Ponchartrain

Feel the rhythm in the street

New Orleans sound, New Orleans beat

Iko Iko and Little Liza Jane

Going down on the Mississippi Queen

Going down down down to New Orleans
