Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sittin' on a sack of beans
Sittin' down in New Orleans
You wouldn't believe what I've seen
Sitting on that sack of beans
[Verse 2]
Lunatics on pogo sticks
Another southern-fried freak on a crucifix
Hicks don't mix with politics
People on the street just kickin' to the licks
[Verse 3]
Yes, my favorite place to be
Is not a land called Honah Lee
Mentally or physically
I wanna be in New Orleans
[Verse 4]
Oh good brother, just when I thought
That I had seen it all
My eyes popped out, my dick got hard
And I dropped my jaw
[Verse 5]
I saw a bird walkin' down the block
Name Apache Rose Peacock
I could not speak, I was in shock
I told my knees to please not knock
[Verse 6]
Yes, my favorite place to be
Is not a land called Honah Lee
Mentally or physically
I wanna be in New Orleans
[Verse 7]
A little boy came along
Name of Louis Armstrong
Said that girl who left me silly
She liked the looks of me and my willy
[Verse 8]
So I found her in the Quarter
Good God, how I adored her
Oh, she made me feel so cozy
When she told me I could call her Rosey
[Verse 9]
I kiss your hair, your skin so bare
I'll take you with me, girl, anywhere
You fare well in stormy weather
I never met a girl that I liked better
[Verse 10]
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Shining down on my blue car
Drivin' down the boulevard
She was soft and I was hard
[Verse 11]
Apache Rose gotta rockin' peacock
Hottest ass on the goddamn block
Rockin' to the beat of the funky ass meters
She has one of those built-in heaters
[Verse 12]
I kiss your hair, your skin so bare
I'll take you with me, girl, anywhere
You fare well in stormy weather
I never met a girl that I liked better
[Verse 13]
Voodoo gurus casting their spells
Cockatoo drag queens shakin' their bells
Silver sound escapes the trumpet
Watch your leg, someone might hump it
[Verse 14]
Chicken strut your butt, let's rock
Gettin' it on under your frock
Flowing like a flame all through the night
My girl's insane but it's all right
[Verse 15]
Yes, my favorite place to be
Is not a land called Honah Lee
Oh, mentally or physically
I wanna be in New Orleans
