Crescent City Songtext

von Youngblood Brass Band

I know that there's something in life that I haven't got
As long as I'm living away from my favorite spot
I know of a city where you and I gotta go
It's always a party and the seafood prices are low
Oooh that city has come to me and I gotta respond
Because I ain't nothing like eating beignets,
Hanging in the Cafe du monde
Get your boogie on Jackson Square,
And go on Bourbon street
And then go down to the sixth born
And dance to that funky beat

()
'Cause I gotta be In New Orleans
Where the brass bands play
I'll have some fillet gumbo and some etouffee
I feel the cresent city calling me today
Because there ain't no doubt
My heart and soul
Lives in New Orleans

If ever your longing to see the other side
Then fasten your seat belt, sit back, and enjoy the ride
A city is waiting like nothing you've seen before
So take it all in then keep coming on back for more
Hear the music that fills the streat its a wonderful sound
And see the smiles on the faces of everybody around
Reboot plays at the Maple Leaf down that's got the hot aim
A new birth at Joe's Cozy Corner, Oh lord I can hardly wait

'Cause I gotta be In New Orleans
Where the brass bands play
I'll have some fillet gumbo and some etouffee
I feel the cresent city calling me today
Because there ain't no doubt
My heart and soul
Lives in New Orleans

It lives in New Orleans yeah
Come on walking on Jackson Square mah' darlin
Come take a walk with me
We'll take a stroll down Clairborn Street in the morning

(Saxophone Solo)
