Layton & Johnstone — Way Down Yonder in New Orleans

(Chorus) Way down yonder in New Orleans In the land of dreamy scenes There's a Garden of Eden, that's what I mean! Creole babies with flashing eyes Softly whisper with tender sighs- Stop! Won't you give your lady fair a little smile Stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while There is heaven right here on earth With those beautiful queens Way down yonder in New Orleans! Yes, where do you think I'm goin' When the wind starts blowing strong? Yes, where do you think I'm goin' When the night starts growing long? Well, I ain't going east, I ain't going west And I ain't goin' over the Cuckoo's Nest I'm bound for the town I love the best Where life is one sweet song! And that's- (Chorus) Way down yonder in New Orleans In the land of dreamy scenes There's a Garden of Eden, that's what I mean! Creole babies with flashing eyes Softly whisper with tender sighs- Stop! Won't you give your lady fair a little smile Stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while There is heaven right here on earth With those beautiful queens Way down yonder in New Orleans! Again I get that sweet aroma And strains of lomba loma, [?] They throw me into a coma When the shadows lay Again I see a picture-ino If you know what I mean-o! She can shake a mean tamborine-o So I hear them say! (Chorus) Way down yonder in New Orleans In the land of dreamy scenes There's a Garden of Eden, that's what I mean! Creole babies with flashing eyes Softly whisper with tender sighs- Stop! Won't you give your lady fair a little smile Stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while There is heaven right here on earth With those beautiful queens Way down yonder in- Way down yonder in New Orleans!
