See Ya Later
Alligator”
Down south in
New Orleans,
The prettiest girls
I've ever seen.
Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet, we make love to the
Rumba beat.
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed,
Got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back.
Life's a pleasure, and love's a dream,
Down south in
New Orleans.
My dark eyed baby,
I'm on my way,
Back into your arms to stay.
I'm tired of work,
I wanna play.
I'll make sweet love to you night and day.
Down south in
New Orleans,
The prettiest girls
I've ever seen.
Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet, we make love to the
Rumba beat.
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed,
I got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back.
Life's a pleasure, love's a dream,
Down south in
New Orleans.
I want to get too loose, on
Toulose Street,
I wanna kiss all the
Creole girls
I see. Drink all day, dance all night.
Do it wrong, 'til
I do it right.
Down south in
New Orleans,
The prettiest girls
I've ever seen.
Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet, we make love to the
Rumba beat.
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed,
Got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back.
Life's a pleasure, love's a dream,
Down south in
New Orleans. [Robertson:]

Bobby Charles.
