Lyrics

Voodoo lingers in the air
Honeymoons is of prayer
Exchanging loud vows sinful
Innocent hearts to share

Horse-drawn carts on cobbled rues
Around the square to muse
Next to the mighty Mississippi
Traces of coachwhips
Pick any cheap hotel, that
Beckons kings and bums
Try the French restaurants
Where the worlds comes

Big Easy has two vibes
Lovers and mischief prevail
City's charm in quarters
Teasing in folklore

N’awlins bars and pubs
Whispers with drinks and liquors
Hurricanes twist and turn
On Bourbon's domain

Madi Gras is bawdy
In a city all rowdy
Tons of inebriates
With world-class frivolity
Cajun/Creole cuisine
Delicious objets d'art
Sightseers see beggars
No sighting of Bonaparte

Barrel-chested chefs fix
Jambalaya and Gumbo
Over eat their fare
And dance to crazy Zydeco

Big Easy has two vibes
Lovers and mischief prevail
City's charm in quarters
Teasing in folklore

Don't pick up Carnival beads
Misfortune to follow
Bad luck cometh fast
Enjoy Etouffee tomorrow

Beignets at Café du Monde
Near St Charles' trolleys
Streetcar named Desire
No Mexican tamales

Big Easy has two vibes
Lovers and mischief prevail
City's charm in quarters
Teasing in folklore

N'awlins lives forever
In the minds of fantasies
Remembrances in photos
Masked in hilarities

Big Easy has two vibes
Love and mischief prevail
City's charm in quarters
Changing in for folklore
