0:35Well' I wish I was in New Orleans
0:41I can see it in my dreams
0:49Arm in arm down Burgundy
0:57A bottle and my friends and me
1:06Hoist up a few tall cool ones
1:11Play some pool and listen to that
1:15Tenor saxaphone calling me home
1:23And I can hear the band begin
1:33When The Saints Go Marching In
1:39By the whiskers on my chin
1:47New Orleans I'll be there
1:55I'll drink you under the table
1:59Be red nose go for walks
2:02The old haunts what I wants
2:07Is red beans and rice
2:11And wear the dress I like so well
2:18Meet me at the old saloon
2:26Make sure there's a Dixie moon
2:33New Orleans I'll be there
2:39And deal the cards roll the dice
2:44If it ain't that ole Chuck E Weiss
2:47And Clayborn Avenue me and you
2:53Sam Jones and all
2:56And I wish I was in New Orleans
3:03I can see it in my dreams
3:11Arm in arm down Burgundy
3:18A bottle and my friends and me
3:25New Orleans I'll be there
3:29Larry Cheng & Kevin Boul' share with you
Well' I wish I was in New Orleans I can see it in my dreams Arm in arm down Burgundy A bottle and my friends and me Hoist up a few tall cool ones Play some pool and listen to that Tenor saxaphone calling me home And I can hear the band begin When The Saints Go Marching In By the whiskers on my chin New Orleans I'll be there I'll drink you under the table Be red nose go for walks The old haunts what I wants Is red beans and rice And wear the dress I like so well Meet me at the old saloon Make sure there's a Dixie moon New Orleans I'll be there And deal the cards roll the dice If it ain't that ole Chuck E Weiss And Clayborn Avenue me and you Sam Jones and all And I wish I was in New Orleans I can see it in my dreams Arm in arm down Burgundy A bottle and my friends and me New Orleans I'll be there Larry Cheng & Kevin Boul' share with you
