The Day It Snows On Christmas

Lyrics

There'll be no crazy down on Bourbon Street
 The second line is gonna lose the beat
 They won't be having fun at Mardi Gras
 And all the Cajuns going to move to Arkansas
 Yeah, the alligator's going to fly
 And doubloons will rain from the sky
 And the Pontchartrain will freeze, and we all are gonna skate
 The day it snows on Christmas, yeah
 In New Orleans, the day it snows on Christmas, yeah, yeah
 ♪
 There'll be no flavor to the beans and rice
 And Mr. Emeril will forget the spice
 Well, let me tell you 'bout the odds of that
 Just like trying to hold the mighty Mississippi back
 Yeah, the alligator's going to fly
 And doubloons will rain from the sky
 And the Pontchartrain will freeze, and we all are gonna skate
 The day it snows on Christmas, yeah
 In New Orleans, the day it snows on Christmas, yeah, yeah
 Don't take no skis down to the levee
 Don't take no sleigh down to Monkey Hill, no, no
 Santa ain't bringing no snow this year
 And he never will
 The coffee won't have any chicory
 The moss will fall right off the live oak tree
 Tchoupitoulas won't have one pothole
 And the saints'll go marching to the Super Bowl
 Yeah, the alligator's gone to fly
 And doubloons will fall from the sky
 And the Pontchartrain will freeze, and we all are gonna skate
 The day it snows on Christmas, yeah
 In New Orleans, the day it snows on Christmas day
 I can't wait
 The day it snows on Christmas, yeah, yeah
 Yeah, yeah
 Mm-mm
 Merry Christmas, y'all
