Come one, come all to New Orleans

March and dance with King and all kinds of Queens

Year round festivals in town

Don't hesitate, catch a ride, come on down

Come on down to the Mississippi River Crest

You want a party, New Orleans does it best

From Bayou St. John to the French Quarters

Street cars, horse drawn buggies, to river boat charters

Greek, Italian, Irish, Vietnamese, Cajun, Creole, German, Black

Parades and festivals, there is not one who will lack

Christmas, New Years, Fourth of July, most any day of the year

Is an excuse to celebrate and drink plenty of beer

Oysters, gumbo, mirlitons, tomato, a good Po Boy

All kinds of food festivals for you to enjoy

You like music, festivals for that, too

Rock and Roll, Jazz, Zydeco, and get down Blues

Of course, Mardi Gras is at the top of the list

Biggest free show on earth mustn't be missed

Doubloons and beads are thrown to you

Holler, “Throw me something, Mista” all you have to do

Forget all your troubles, come on down

New Orleans has parades to light up your smile and remove that frown

Check out the festival calendar for most any day or night

We'll pass a good time, Shah, yeh u rite
