NEW ORLEANS IS BACK I was down in Louisiana it was like a dream Waking up in the Big Easy Music playing on Bourbon street Rolling to a rhythm with a Cajun beat CHORUS 1 New Orleans is back no doubt about it Now's the time to go up the Mississippi on a riverboat Well I could see the people were stronger than Katrina the hurricane We got rhythm and blues jazz and soul So come and shake your body let the good time roll CHORUS 2 New Orleans is back no doubt about it Now's the time to go up Old Man river on a riverboat I wound up in Baton Rouge But I had to go to Thibodaux They were getting ready for the Mardi Gras Eating gumbo and jambalaya Chorus 1 New Orleans is back....... Well you can sail on the Golf of Mexico Or go fishing with a Cajun on the bayou But don't be surprised if you hear them say Laisee les bon temps roullee Let the good times roll CHORUS 2 and last half of CHORUS 1
