Well, way down yonder in New Orleans in the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden, ah-you know what I mean
Yeah, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop! Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while
Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans Whoo!
[instrumental break]
Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo!,
in the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden, you know what I mean Well,
Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop! Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while
Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
Well, way down yonder in New Orleans Yeah! whoo!
[instrumental to end]
