Well, way down yonder in New Orleans in the land of the dreamy scenes

There's a garden of Eden, ah-you know what I mean

Yeah, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs

And then you stop! Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?

And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens

Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans Whoo!

[instrumental break]

Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo!,

in the land of the dreamy scenes

There's a garden of Eden, you know what I mean Well,

Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs

And then you stop! Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?

And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens

Well, way down yonder in New Orleans Yeah! whoo!

[instrumental to end]
