New Orleans

(You'll never know)
 You'll never know
 (What heaven means)
 What heaven means
 Until you've been down to New Orleans (New Orleans)
 You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo
 With a black-eyed baby by thee old bayou
 (You've never seen)
 You've never seen
 (Cupie doll queens)
 You've never seen those cupie doll queens like they got 'em
 In New Orleans (New Orleans)
 Ah, ooh-ooh, they love you like no one can
 It makes you awful glad that you were born a man
 If-if-if you ain't been there (been there)
 Then you ain't been nowhere (nowhere)
 The living's lazy and the loving's fine (it's so fine)
 If you feel low down (low down)
 So help me Hannah (Hannah)
 You should lose the blues in Louisi-ouisi-ouisi-ana
 (So get the lead)
 Get your lead (out of your jeans)
 Get you lead out of your jeans
 And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where?
 New Orleans (New Orleans)
 Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile (yeah)
 Live it up (yeah), love it up (yeah), southern style
 Way down in New (down in New)
 New Orleans
