I just can't get New Orleans off my mind
Fun dancin' and music all the time
So if you don't see me
Oh that's where I'm gonna be
'Cause I just can't get New Orleans off my mind

Creole gumbo
Carriage lights
Old houses that will last
On Bourbon street you get that beat
That Dixieland Jazz

That's why I just can't get New Orleans off my mind
Fun dancin' and music all the time
So if you don't see me
Oh that's where I'm gonna be
'Cause I just can't get New Orleans off my mind

Mardi Gras the things I'd saw
Makes it hard to wait
When you see those Zulu kings
You wanna make a date

Because I just can't get New Orleans off my mind
Fun dancin' and music all the time
So if you don't see me
Oh that's where I'm gonna be
'Cause I just can't get New Orleans off my mind
Ol' man river ferryboats cruisin' thru the ports
New Orleans the land of dreams
The home of various folks

That's why I just can't get New Orleans off my mind
Fun dancin' and music all the time
So if you don't see me
Oh that's where I'm gonna be
'Cause I just can't get New Orleans off my mind

That's what I'm try to tell you
That's where I want you to go
New Orleans is my home
And I should know
That's where my hearts
That's where I've got to be
New Orleans is my home
Why can't you see
Uh-huh uh-huh

New Orlean's my home honey yeah
