On the water down in New Orleans
My baby's the pearl of the quarter
She's a charmer like you've never seen
Singing voulez, voulez, voulez vous

Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay
Red beans and rice for a quarter
You can see her almost every day
Singing voulez, voulez, voulez vous

If you hear from my sweet Louise
Won't you tell her I love her?
And you make it clear when her day is done
She's got a place to go?

I walked alone down the miracle mile
I met my baby by the shrine of the martyr
She stole my heart with her Cajun smile
Singing voulez, voulez, voulez vous

She loved the million dollar words I'd say
She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her
Said she loved me and was on her way
Singing voulez, voulez, voulez vous

If you hear from my sweet Louise
Won't you tell her I love her?
And you make it clear when her day is done
She's got a place to go?

My sweet Louise
Won't you tell her I love her?
And you make it clear when her day is done
She's got a place to go?

My sweet Louise
Won't you tell her I love her?
And you make it clear when her day is done
She's got a place to go?

My sweet Louise
My sweet Louise
My sweet Louise
