She said baby our love’s just like your songs

The beat ain’t bad but the words are all wrong

It’s time to pack my bags, it’s time to just move on

She sang Johnny I’m gone, gone, gone

And she was gone



Me and Leigh met summer of ’95

In a burgundy dress lookin’ finer than a French wine

A Cajun queen with another side

She was a schoolboy’s dream, I was out of my mind

She was lookin’ fine

She said: ”You want to drive me home”

But what I didn’t know…



Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh – dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh, ooh – it was almost like a dream



That night I made a move, man I fell hard

When I put my hands in her cookie jar

She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star

I was a deer in the light of speeding car

Nothing’s what it seems

She was a Venus de Milo in her sister’s jeans



Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh – dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh, ooh – it was almost like a dream



Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh – dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh, ooh – dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street



Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh – nothing’s what it seems in New Orleans

Ooh, ooh – dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street



Ooh, ooh – I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
