| We’re gonna bring out another friend of ours now
|
| To do this tune with Mac; |
| Bobby Charles
|
| Great, great, great song writer, Bobby Charles
|
| He wrote «See Ya Later Alligator»
|
| Down south in New Orleans,
|
| The prettiest girls I’ve ever seen.
|
| Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet,
|
| we make love to the Rumba beat.
|
| Ship’s at anchor, my suitcase packed,
|
| Got a one way ticket, ain’t comin' back.
|
| Life’s a pleasure, and love’s a dream,
|
| Down south in New Orleans.
|
| My dark eyed baby, I’m on my way,
|
| Back into your arms to stay.
|
| I’m tired of work, I wanna play.
|
| I’ll make sweet love to you night and day.
|
| Down south in New Orleans,
|
| The prettiest girls I’ve ever seen.
|
| Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet,
|
| we make love to the Rumba beat.
|
| Ship’s at anchor, my suitcase packed,
|
| I got a one way ticket, ain’t comin' back.
|
| Life’s a pleasure, love’s a dream,
|
| Down south in New Orleans.
|
| I want to get too loose, on Toulose Street,
|
| I wanna kiss all the Creole girls I see.
|
| Drink all day, dance all night.
|
| Do it wrong, 'til I do it right.
|
| Down south in New Orleans,
|
| The prettiest girls I’ve ever seen.
|
| Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet,
|
| we make love to the Rumba beat.
|
| Ship’s at anchor, my suitcase packed,
|
| Got a one way ticket, ain’t comin' back.
|
| Life’s a pleasure, love’s a dream,
|
| Down south in New Orleans.
|
| Mac Rebennack and Bobby Charles. |
