Glen Allen - New Orleans

Out front of St Louis Cathedral
Frou frou lady reads the lines on your hand
Pats her feet to the beat
Of the Allstar band

Artists hang their panting on the wrought iron fence
All around Jackson Square
The smell of Chicory coffee and beignets
Fills the air

This city gonna mystify you
It’s food surely satisfy you
This city gonna rectify you
It’s music gonna funktify you
New Orleans New Orleans New Orleans

On a paddle wheel river boat
A calliope plays an old time hymn
With a chug chug chug chug
The steam pistons chyme in


This city gonna mystify you
It’s food surely satisfy you
This city gonna rectify you
It’s music gonna funktify you
New Orleans New Orleans New Orleans

Going home
A mules shoes echo clippety clop
Down the narrow streets of cobble stone
This City’s got peculiar rhythm
Got it’s very on song

This city gonna mystify you
It’s food surely satisfy you
This city gonna rectify you
It’s music gonna funktify you
New Orleans New Orleans New Orleans
