|
Won't you come along with me |
|
To the Mississippi? |
|
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams |
|
Steam down the river, down to New Orleans |
|
The band's there to meet us |
|
Old friends, there to greet us |
|
Where all the proud and elite folks meet |
|
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street |
|
Basin Street is the street |
|
Where the best folks always meet |
|
In New Orleans, land of dreams |
|
You'll never know how nice it seems |
|
Or just how much it really means |
|
Glad to be, oh yes-siree |
|
Where welcome's free and dear to me |
|
Where I can lose, lose my Basin Street blues |
|
Basin Street, oh, Basin Street |
|
Is the street, mama |
|
New Orleans, land of dreams |
