Queen of New Orleans lyrics

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 Leugh 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 out my mind

She was lookin' fine

She said: 'You want to drive me home'

But what I didn't know

Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, it was 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, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, it was almost like a dream

Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing with the Queen down Bourbon street

Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, dancing with the Queen down Bourbon street

Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
