In New Orleans Songtext

von Randy Newman

In the South Lands, 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 the music playin'
Hear what I'm saying, it make you feel alright
Grab somebody, come one down
Get your paintbrush, we're paintin'the town
There's some sweetness going 'round
Catch it down in New Orleans
We got magic, good and bad
Make us happy and make us real sad
Everything you wanted is thing you always had
Down. Here in New Orleans
Qué pas? Don't be shy
Come on down 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 Baron and Cotton Kings
Rich people, poor people, all got dreams
Dreams do come true in New Orleans
