Tis something bewitching about the Crescent City
Where there's no shame and there's no pity
A trip to New Orleans is as addictive as crack
Once you visit there you'll keep coming back.

A mixture of worlds both Old and New
A transformation comes over you
It's a place to have fun and let your hair down
Where even the up-tight lose their frown.

You're immediately under the Big Easy's spell
And, oh yes, the stories you'll have to tell
About the things you've seen and done
It's the place to go if you're looking for fun.

Mardi Gras is such a wonderful thing
What smiles and joy the Carnival will bring
Whatever it is that you enjoy
There's plenty to do for every girl and boy.
