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>
