Down South in New Orleans

Down south in New Orleans

The prettiest girls I've ever seen

A sparkling eye and lips so sweet

And we make love to the Rumba beat

A ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed

I got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back

Life's a pleasure and love's a dream

Down south in New Orleans

My dark eyed baby, I'm on my way

Back into your arms to stay

I'm tired of work, I wanna play

I'll make sweet love to you night and day

Down south in New Orleans

The prettiest girls I've ever seen

A sparkling eye and lips so sweet

And we make love to the Rumba beat

A ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed

I got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back

Life's a pleasure, love's a dream

Down south in New Orleans

I want to get too loose, on Toulouse Street

I wanna kiss all the Creole girls I see

Drink all day, dance all night

Do it wrong, 'til I do it right

Down south in New Orleans

The prettiest girls I've ever seen

A sparkling eye and lips so sweet

And we make love to the Rumba beat

A ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed

I got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back

Life's a pleasure and love's a dream

Down south in New Orleans
