[Verse 1]
Mississippi River is callin' me
In the heat of a Cajun night
A funky guitar laid down by The Meters
Bring the city streets to life

[Chorus]
Brass band marching down Bourbon Street
Royal is rockin' to a second line beat
We all livin' the dream down in New Orleans
Ah, New Orleans, baby

[Verse 2]
Mardi Gras rollin' down in Crescent City
The crowds are throwin' it down
Midnight and it's all gettin' gritty
Everybody singing out loud

[Chorus]
Brass band marching down Bourbon Street
Royal is rockin' to a second line beat
We all livin' the dream down in New Orleans

[Bridge]
In the heart of the Delta drinks are flowin' free (Flowin' free)
The party's goin' all night (All night)
People out dancin' in the middlе of the street
All I need is my Mississippi queen
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Brass band marching down Bourbon Street
Royal is rockin' to a second line bеat
We all livin' the dream down in New Orleans
We all livin' the dream down in New Orleans
New Orleans
Ah, New Orleans (Ah, New Orleans)
Rockin' through the night now, baby (Rockin' through the night)
Come on

[Outro]
Everybody's talkin' 'bout
New Orleans (New Orleans)
