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 one helluva shot of r&b


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 rythm & 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 one woman on your mind?
Well did you ever wake up              with that one woman on your mind?
You had to sit there laughin',         laughin' just to keep from cryin'
