New Orleans ladies

A sassy style that will drive you crazy

And they hold you like the light

Hugs the wick when this candle's burning

Them Creole babies

Thin and brown and downright lazy

And they roll just like a river

A little wade will last forever



All the way

From Bourbon Street to Esplanade

They sashay by...

They sashay by...



New Orleans ladies

A flair for life, love, and laughter

And they hold you like the night

Holds a chill when this cold wind's blowing

Them Creole babies

They strut and sway from dusk til dawn

And they roll just like the river

A little wade will last forever



All the way

From Bourbon Street to Esplanade

They sashay by...

They sashay by...
