Hannah - Nighttime in NOLA

Down in New Orleans there’s a party every night.
Whether it’s Monday or Friday people are out on the town seeing the sights.
The restaurants are filled and the clubs are packed,
From uptown to downtown music is heard and that’s a fact.
The weekends are when the festivals start,
The bands and the food are off the charts.
Jazz and jambalaya fill the air,
It seems as though no one has any cares.

Hannah, age 17
