Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of the dreamy scenes
It's a garden of Edenyou know what I mean
Creole babies with lovin' eyes
Softly whisper their tender sighs
Stopya bet your life you'll linger therea little while
stopwon't you give your lady faira little smile
It's the heaven right here on earth
All the beautiful queens
Way down yonder in NewOrleans
stopwon't you give your lady faira little smile
stopgive lady faira little smile
Oh!
It's the heaven right here on earth
All the beautiful queens,
Look out!
Way down yonder in New Orleans
