Give Me My New Orleans

> Give Me My New Orleans

give me a king cake baby
give me a beignet kiss ~
give me a french quarter morning
that always looks like this

give me the endymion krewe
give me the times-picayune
give me a drunken crawfish boil,
in muggy, sticky june

give me a six pack of dixie
give me abita beers
give me a city where it only snows
one time every 15 years

give me a green neutral ground
give me a mardi gras ball
give me a medium rare burger
at the smokey Port of Call

give me a glittery drag show
give me the streetcar line
give me the House of the Rising Sun
give me a Tchoupitoulas sign

give me a erster poboy
give me lovebug season in May
give me my New Orleans -
an' I will definitely stay!!!
