Lyrics

[01:34.02] Stand on the corner
[01:37.58] Of Toulouse and dauphin
[01:42.95] Waitin' on Marie-Ondine
[01:48.27] I'm tryin' to place a tune
[01:51.14] Under a Louisiana moonbeam
[01:57.33] On the planet of New Orleans
[02:06.21] In a bar they call the Saturn
[02:11.14] And in her eyes of green
[02:16.51] And somethin' that she said in a dream
[02:21.95] Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
[02:25.70] And a true love figurine
[02:30.95] For the planet of the New Orleans
[02:36.14] New Orleans, with other life upon it
[02:46.58] And everythin' that's shakin' in between
[02:52.58] If you should ever land upon it
[02:56.58] You better know what's on it
[03:01.58] The planet of the New Orleans
[03:10.27] Now I'm tryin' to find my way
[03:15.21] Through the rain and the steam
[03:20.20] I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen
[03:25.89] And then I heard her say
[03:29.58] Somethin' in the limousine
[03:33.33] 'Bout takin' a ride across the planet of the New Orleans
[05:00.08] If she was an ace and I was just a jack
[05:03.83] And the cards were never seen
[05:08.83] We could have been the king and the queen
[05:14.21] But she took me back to her courtyard
[05:17.96] Where magnolia perfume screams
[05:21.59] Behind the gates and the granite
[05:24.08] Of the planet of the New Orleans
[05:28.77] New Orleans, with other life upon it
[05:38.90] And everythin' that's shakin' in between
[05:45.46] If you should ever land upon it
[05:49.09] You better know what's on it
[05:54.02] The planet of the New Orleans
[06:00.77] With other life upon it
[06:05.27] And everythin' that's shakin' in between
[06:11.77] If you should ever land upon it
[06:15.27] You better know what's on it
[06:20.21] The planet of the New Orleans
[06:32.04] The planet of the New Orleans
