Let me tell you a little story about a girl I love
From down in Louisiana southwards by the Gulf
She’s a little gritty but she’s real pretty
Goes by the name of the Crescent City
Hello, New Orleans
River queen, river queen
She’s my rockin’ little river queen
That cajun beauty, New Orleans
She’s not the kind of girl you tell your mama about
A little rough around the edges but man she’ll make you jump and shout
Well her streets are a hoppin’ baby all night long
Jazz is a boppin’ baby all night long
Hello, New Orleans
River queen, river queen
She’s my little river queen
That cajun beauty, New Orleans
Come on baby- laissez les bons temps rouler
On down the Mississippi to the shores of Pontchartrain
Hey, New Orleans
River queen, river queen
She’s my little river queen
That cajun beauty, New Orleans
My feet are dancin’ down the streets of cobblestone
To the bark of the trumpet and bray of the slide trombone
Poet on the corner blowin’ on a hohner
With a hat full of dollars and a wink for every gal he meets
Hello, New Orleans
River queen, river queen
She’s my thumping little river
Cajun beauty, New Orleans
Jambalaya, gumbo, crawdads, andouille
Get me a alligator po’ boy down at Domilise
New Orleans
River queen, river queen
She’s my little river queen
That cajun beauty, New Orleans
River queen, river queen
She’s my rockin' river queen
That cajun beauty, New Orleans
