Lyrics Way Down Yonder In New Orleans - Bing Crosby

Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of the dreamy scenes
Such a Garden of Eden
That′s what I mean
Creole babies with flashin' eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs, stop
Won′t you give your lady fair a little smile?
Oh, now I bet your life you'll linger there a little while
There is Heaven right here on Earth
With those beautiful queens
Down yonder in New Orleans

Orange blossoms, sweet aroma
And the strains of La Paloma
Seem to throw you into a coma
When those orchestras play
Again, I see a peacherin-o
Dance the you know what I mean-o
Oh, she shakes a tambourin-o
So they cage and say

Down yonder in New Orleans
Meet the land of the dreamy scenes
Such a Garden of Eden
Oh, what I mean
Creole babies with flashin' eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs, look out
Give your lady fair a little smile
Oh, now I bet your life you′ll linger there a little while
They got angels here on Earth
Wearing little blue jeans
Down yonder in New Orleans
