In the south land there's a city

Way down on the river

Where the women are very pretty

And all the men deliver

They got music it's always playing

Start in the day time go

All through the night

When you hear that music playing

Hear what I'm saying

And make you feel alright

Grab somebody come on down

Bring your paintbrush

We're painting the town

There's some sweetness going around

Dreams do come true in New Orleans
