lyrics

Well we never been down to New Orleans
Didn't shake hands with the Zulu Queen
Haven't met that big Big Chief
And no one's bought us drinks on Bourbon Street

People telling me, man you should go
I smile and tell 'em I ain't got the dough

Take me home
To where Jazz was born
Down on Basin Street

If we ever get down to the Big Easy
We'll deck ourselves out with some old gris gris
We heard that you can get what you want
As long as luck mojo is all yours to flaunt

People telling me, man you should go
I smile and tell 'em I ain't got the dough

Take me home
To where Jazz was born
Down on Basin Street

So when we get down to Louisiana
Horns in hand, we'll be there to stay
Live out our dreams, play at Tipitina's
Music with the best, learning the hard way

People telling me, man you should go
I smile and tell 'em I ain't got the dough

Take me home
To where Jazz was born
I said take me home
To where Jazz was born
Take me, take me home
To where Jazz was born
Down on Basin Street
