If you've never seen a quaint old Southern city

Just think of New, New Orleans.

If you've never seen that town, boy, that's a pity.

There's nothing like, nothing like New Orleans.

It will remind you of old fashioned lace,

A glass of wine will greet your smiling face.

And if you ever see a black-eyed guy like mine, gal,

Oh, then you're right in it, right in New Orleans.
