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

Creole gumbo
Paris lights
Ol' houses that will last
On Bourbon street you get the 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
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 the Creole Queen
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
That's where I'm gonna be
'Cause I just can't get New Orleans off my mind

Ol' man river ferryboat cruisin' thru the port
New Orleans is land of dreams
The home of merry sport
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
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
Aaaah hellooo
Oh oh oh should know
