You'll never know what heaven means
Until you've been down to New Orleans
You ain't been living till you're cuddling cool
With the black-eyed baby by the old bayou
You've never seen
You've never seen
Cupid, our queen
You've never seen those Cupid,
our queens like they got her
In New Orleans
New Orleans
Ooh, they love you like no one can
Ah!
It makes you awful glad that you were born a man
If you ain't been there Been there
Man, you ain't been nowhere Nowhere
The living's lazy and the loving's fine It's so fine
If you feel low down
Low down
So help me,
Hannah Hannah
You should
lose your blues and lose your oozy, oozy, Anna
So get the lead Get the lead
Out of your jeans Get the lead out of your jeans
And hot foot it down, hot foot it down to where?
New Orleans New Orleans
Louisiana,
baby, does you stay a while?
Yeah!
Live it up Yeah!
Love it up Yeah!
Some style We're down in New
Down in New Orleans
New Orleans
New Orleans New Orleans
