lyrics

Everybody talkin’ ‘bout New Orleans
Funkiest place I ‘aint never been
Got a little somethin’, just can’t put my finger on it
Let’s hitch a ride, like a badge on a Cadillac bonnet

I heard that sound when I was a child
Fats Domino, driving me wild
Professor Longhair, Earl Hooker too
Layin’ down those Louisiana blues

Take more than a hurricane, to keep Big Easy down
Bake a King Cake, when Fat Tuesday comes around
Find yourself in Iberville, find yourself in Tremé
Hey Pocky-A-Way, Jock-A-Mo-Fi-Na-Né

Zydeco, Dixieland
Second-line marching band
Mardi Gras Indian Chief
Carnival Queen parades on Bourbon St

Jambalaya, Crawfish Pie
This Cajun fare got me on a high
My bags are packed; I’m raring to go
Down to New Orleans baby, King Creole!
