RANDOM BLUES

(And this for New Orleans)

To fancy New Orleans

Without its jazz

Say, to fancy Nawlins

Without its jazz

Is like dreaming Las Vegas

Without its razzmatazz

How would the Crescent City be

Without its Red Beans ‘N Rice

Asking, how would the Crescent City be

Without its Red Beans ‘N Rice?

Soak me up in Cajun flavour

I love my praline, no matter the price

Went down to Treme

To greet Tyrone

Say, went down to Treme

To greet Tyrone

He may also know

Where to grab a loan

Come Mardi Gras

And I burst into a gorgeous costume

Yes, come Mardi Gras

And I burst into a gorgeous costume

Oh the magic of swaying masks and drums

And friendly winds, and heavenly perfume

Bourbon Street bubbles

With its Saints ‘n Sinners

Oh, how Bourbon Street bubbles

With its Saints and Sinners

The road rocks in style

With the dalliance of diverse diners
