How it all goes down
|
Sure ain't plain to see
|
Nobody knows for sure
|
How it all came to be
|
Oh, the laughin' faces
|
Behind a painted smile
|
Talk the talk of swing-bop
|
For the people dance its bastard child
|
Talking 'bout New Orleans
|
Nothing here is what it seems
|
Pass down a showbiz dream
|
Well we're talking 'bout New Orleans
|
Talking 'bout New Orleans
|
We've got to jump the way
|
They think we jump all day
|
We got to dance the dance, yeah
|
Just like the white man say
|
For sure we play the game
|
For sure we walk the line
|
We just taking what chances coming
|
Between the nickel and the dime, yeah
|
Talking 'bout New Orleans
|
Nothing's what it seems
|
Pass down the showbiz dream
|
Well I'm talking 'bout New Orleans
