Way down yonder in New Orleans In the land of the dreamy scenes There's a Garden Of Eden, you know what I mean? Creole babies with flashin' eyes Softly whisper their tender sighs Then stop won't you give your lady fair a little smile Stop, ya bet your life you'll linger there a little while We've got heaven right here on earth With those beautiful queens Way down yonder in New Orleans You're gonna find heaven right here on earth With all them beautiful queens Way down yonder in New Orleans I goin' down yonder to New Orleans It's way down yonder in New Orleans
