If you've never seen a quaint old Southern city 
Just think of New, think of New Orleans 
 
If you've never seen that town, boy, it's a pity 
There's nothing like, nothing like New Orleans 
 
It will remind you old fashioned lace 
A glass of wine will greet your smiling face 
 
And if you ever see a black-eyed gal like mine, boy 
Oh, then you're right in it, right in New Orleans
