LyricsEdit

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, it make you feel alright

Grab somebody, come on down

Bring your paintbrush, we're paintin' the town

Oh there's some sweetness goin' 'round

Catch it down in New Orleans

We got magic, good and bad

Make you happy or make you real sad

Get everything you want, lose what you had

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 the Cotton Kings

Rich people, poor people, all got dreams

Dreams do come true in New Orleans
