lyrics:

Head on down to New Orleans the prettiest place you've ever seen

Head on down to the river bend that's where the music never ends

Open your ears, don't you feel good, get yourself a shot of rhythm an? blues.

Go on down to New Orleans, the greatest place you've ever seen

Go on down to the river bend, Dig the music of the Cajun bands

Honky-tonk piano make you feel good, open your ears to the rhythm & blues

Well did you ever wake up with them bullfrogs on your mind?

Well did you ever wake up with them bullfrogs on your mind?

You had to sit there laughin', laughing just to keep from cryin'

Well did you ever wake up with that blonde woman on your mind?

Well did you ever wake up with that blonde woman on your mind?

You had to sit there laughin', laughin' just to keep from cryin'
