City Beneath the Sea

Take me, take me

To the city beneath the sea

The river will wrap around me

And the music will let me be

You can find me on the neutral ground

On the corner of fleur-de-lis

Please, somebody won't you take me

To the city beneath the sea?

New Orleans

Take me, take me

Where the night outshines the day

You can hear the tap of soda caps

And smell the Éttouffée

You can fais do do with Jacamo

Or fi na ne 'til three, yeah

Please, somebody won't you take me

To the city beneath the sea?

How, how long

Can I stay away?

How, how long

Can I stay away?

Take me, take me

To the Meters and the Mardi Gras

They bet you where you got your shoes

And they eat their oysters raw

Pork Chops dances all night long

But he won't dance for free

Please, somebody won't you take me

To the city beneath the sea?

How, how long

Can I stay away?

How, how long

Can I stay away?

Take me, take me

To the Meters and the Mardi Gras

They bet you where you got your shoes

And they eat their oysters raw

Pork Chops dances all night long

But he won't dance for free

Please, somebody won't you take me

To the city beneath the sea?

Please, somebody won't you take me

To the city beneath the sea?
