You talk about gals so let me tell ya ‘bout mine
She full of good lovin’ all of the time
Long straight hair down her back
And she lives in an itty bitty one room shack
She stands tall, five feet ten
She ain’t too fat, she ain’t too thin
She ain’t too old, she ain’t no teen
She lives down yonder in New Orleans

New Orleans
Land of the creole queens
New Orleans
Gumbo rice and them good red beans

I’ve been told a monkey can’t talk
I’ve been told a dead man can’t walk
I’ll tell ya this, it ain’t no lie
That gal of mine will make a dead man cry

New Orleans
Land of the creole queens
New Orleans
Gumbo rice and them good red beans

Look out
Ooh, I feel good
Come on baby
New Orleans
Land of the creole queens
New Orleans
Gumbo rice and them good red beans

Hey, all aboard
All aboard, first stop New Orleans
Looka here baby, the French Quarter’s
