Way down yonder in New Orleans

In the land of the dreamy scenes

It's a garden of Eden you know what I mean

Creole babies with lovin' eyes

Softly whisper their tender sighs

Stop ya bet your life you'll linger there a little while

Stop won't you give your lady fair a little smile

It's the heaven right here on earth

All the beautiful queens

Way down yonder in New Orleans

Stop won't you give your lady fair a little smile

Stop give lady fair a little smile

Oh

It's the heaven right here on earth

All the beautiful queens

Look out

Way down yonder in New Orleans
