Down in New Orleans is what all the northerners say
Down in New Orleans where the bob cats sway
Down in New Orleans is where the jazz band plays
Down in New Orleans where the carriage horses neigh
Down in New Orleans is where you come to eat a beignet
Down in New Orleans is where the tourists stray
Down in New Orleans is where the college kids go “cray”
Down in New Orleans is the place to stay
