Queen of New Orleans

She said, "Baby, our love's just like your songs

The beat ain't bad but the words are all wrong"

It's time to pack my bags, it's time to just move on

She sang, Johnny I'm gone, gone, gone

And she was gone

Me and Leigh met summer of '95

In a burgundy dress, lookin' finer than a French wine

A Cajun queen with another side

She was a schoolboy's dream, I was outta my mind

She was lookin' fine

She said, "You wanna drive me home?"

But what I didn't know

Ooh (Sha la la)

I was dancing with the queen of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

It was almost like a dream

(Almost like a dream)

That night I made a move

Man, I fell hard when I put my hands in her cookie jar

She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star

I was a deer in the lights of a speeding car

Nothing's what it seems, she was a Venus De Milo in her sister's jeans

Ooh (Sha la la)

I was dancing with the queen of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

It was almost like a dream

(Almost like a dream)

Ooh (Sha la la)

I was dancing with the queen of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

I was dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing with the queen down Bourbon Street

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing in the queen of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Nothing's what it seems in New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing with the queen of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing with the queen of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing with the queen of New Orleans

Ooh (Sha la la)

Dancing with the queen of New Orleans
