Mr Jimmy makes a drink with thirty-four different liquors   He pours it all in one shot glass   You can count the layers   His little wooden bar-room   Betsy tried to blow it away   They just mopped it back up some you know   It's all two-lane today   If you asked me my opinion 'bout it I'd have to say      There's nobody but a fool or a preacher   Would not love it in New-Orleans   I said there's nobody but a fool or a preacher   Would not love it in New-Orleans      Look out   The Mardi Gras is coming up soon   I'm gonna be down the street with the music and the booze   Them Crescent City ladies they love to tease and flirt   They steal your heart with one smile   And a flip of their skirt   They steal my heart with one smile   And a flip of their skirt   I'm gonna dance until I'm dizzy   Laugh until it hurts, whoa whoo      Miss Delacroix can tell you all about your fortunes   She knows everything there is to know about hoodo,   charms and potions   She can answer any questions you might care to ask   What to look for in your future   How to cover up your past   She said she found it likely, I'd be coming back there fast      There's nobody but a fool or a preacher   Would not love it in New-Orleans   I said there's nobody but a fool or a preacher   Would not love it in New-Orleans      There's nobody but a fool or a preacher   Would not love it in New-Orleans   I said there's nobody but a fool or a preacher   Would not love it in New-Orleans
