Willy DeVille - The Band Played On lyrics

Do I make you feel pretty When I say take another piece of my heart Feeling drunk like a sailor blistered on Mardi gras day Feeling drunk on mardi gras day Where is that scarecrow who used to walk on Your arm When we used to stroll down decatur street Tell me do he say how much he loves you Does he whisper how much he loves you when The trumpets start to play And the band played on The band played on Yeah, the band played on And the band played on Sad as it may be, new orleans will be on its knees While the band, while the band played on Baby, don't mean maybe Someday i'll come back again When I get home to new orleans Every day gonna be peaches and cream and Pecan pie Oh so sweet coming down the street And the band played on The band played on The band played on Lord have mercy on me The band played on So sad and sweet Sad and sweet That's what it be I lost my new orleans That's alright she'll be back again someday I know it She'll be back again someday
