Video clip

Well, i wish i was in new orleans, i can see in my dreams
Arm-in-arm down burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me
Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listen
To that tenor saxophone calling me home

And i can hear the band begin, 'when the saints go marching in'
And by the whiskers on my chin, new orleans, i'll be there
I'll drink you under the table, be a red-nosed, go for walks
The old haunts what i wants is red beans and rice

And wear the dress i like so well, and meet me at the old saloon
Make sure that there's a dixie moon, new orleans, i'll be there
And deal the cards, roll the dice, if it ain't that old chuck e weiss
And claiborne avenue, me and you sam jones and all

And i wish i was in new orleans, i can see in my dreams
Arm-in-arm down burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me
New orleans, i'll be there
