Jade - Down in New Orleans...

Down in New Orleans is all about fun
We don't get in fights, we just love one another as one
Problems do arise and we all stick together
Just like one happy family, in it, together forever
We've been through a lot, just as a city alone
From being flooded to the oil spill, but we never leave one another alone
We're a big ole family, down in New Orleans

Jade, age 15
