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

They've got heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens

Down yonder in New Orleans

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 woo man

Won't you give your lady fair a little smile
Stop  ya bet your life you'll linger there a little while

They've got heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens

Way down yonder in New Orleans
