Walk me down to the Bourbon Street
You never know what you'll see
Hit St. Phillip for a drink at Lafitte's
To get your mojo going
Sazaraks are sinking in
I can hear the saints come marching in
Gonna catch a buzz lock it down tight
For some crazy sh** in Storyville tonight
Gumbo and the ragtime beat
Will get you up moving your feet
From Buddy Bolden and Jelly Roll
Pushing the blues out of control
Ol' Al Hirt blowing the horn
All through the night to the early morn
Sachmo playing on the riverboat
Better pay Marcello or he'll cut your throat
Infect me New Orleans
Can you heal a broken soul?
Baby I'm just skin and bones
Jackson square got my fortune told
Voodoo woman with the Hoodoo glow
Hear the spirit of Daddy Rice
Children of his melodies fill the night
Dirty lace with the painted face
Looking like they landed from outer space
Follow me around with the colored beads
Funky mix of grace and sleaze
Infect me New Orleans
Can you heal a broken soul?
Baby I'm just skin and bones
Baby I'm just skin and bones
No matter how bad you find your life
Down here you know it'll be all right
Everywhere the music fills the night
Wash away the dust of everyday life
Infect me New Orleans
Can you heal a broken soul?
Don't leave me New Orleans
Can you heal a broken soul?
Baby I'm just skin and bones
Just skin and bones
Baby I'm just skin and bones
Baby I'm just skin and bones
Baby I'm just skin and bones
Baby I'm just skin and bones…
