Broken up sidewalks, Freaks on parade
The river coughed up a body today
An ocean of gla**, it sparkles the street
And the hopeful line up for meat
A tapdancer spinning a wheel on his head
Umbrella man's preaching, his bull horn is red
A dumpster's on fire, there's who*es up the block
They're all on their knees for rock
New Orleans, New Orleans
Most interesting city you ever did see
New Orleans, New Orleans
There's no place I'd rather be
The weather has changed, I put on my hat
The trash is alive with pulsating rats
The stench of the Quarter, it drips off the trees
And settles between your teeth
New Orleans, New Orleans
Most interesting city you ever did see
New Orleans, New Orleans
There's no place I'd rather be
Back at the Hi-Ho, kid's flat on his face
A siren screams by, it quickens the pace
Aubrey wakes up and smiles with a wink
And pours everyone a drink
New Orleans, New Orleans
Most interesting city you ever did see
New Orleans, New Orleans...
