Well, a-way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of a-dreamy scenes
a-There's a Garden of Eden, a-you know what I mean
Yeah, creole babies with flashing eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop! Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth
A-with those beautiful queens
Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans
Whoo!

Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo!
In the land of a-dreamy scenes
a-There's a Garden of Eden, a-you know what I mean
Well, creole babies with flashing eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop! Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth
A-with those beautiful queens
Well, way down yonder in New Orleans
Yeah! Whoo!
