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
