Well, a-way down yonder in new orleans
In the land of a-dreamy scenes
A-there's a garden of eden, a-you know what i mean
Yeah, creole babies with flashing eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop! oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop! you bet your life you'll linger there a little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth
A-with those beautiful queens
Yeah, way down yonder in new orleans
Whoo!

Way down yonder in new orleans, whoo!
In the land of a-dreamy scenes
A-there's a garden of eden, a-you know what i mean
Well, creole babies with flashing eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop! oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop! you bet your life you'll linger there a little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth
A-with those beautiful queens
Well, way down yonder in new orleans
Yeah! whoo!
