Way Down Yonder In New Orleans

Way down yonder in New Orleans In the land of the dreamy scenes Such a Garden of Eden That's what I mean Creole babies with flashin' eyes Softly whisper with tender sighs, stop Won't you give your lady fair a little smile? Oh, now I bet your life you'll linger there a little while There is Heaven right here on Earth With those beautiful queens Down yonder in New Orleans Orange blossoms, sweet aroma And the strains of La Paloma Seem to throw you into a coma When those orchestras play Again, I see a peacherin-o Dance the you know what I mean-o Oh, she shakes a tambourin-o So they cage and say Down yonder in New Orleans Meet the land of the dreamy scenes Such a Garden of Eden Oh, what I mean Creole babies with flashin' eyes Softly whisper with tender sighs, look out Give your lady fair a little smile Oh, now I bet your life you'll linger there a little while They got angels here on Earth Wearing little blue jeans Down yonder in New Orleans
