Pretty boys from Texas
Wearing brand new tees
Are dancing up a storm
With the Sidon girls
At the Opera House tonight
And Sidney’s on the corner
Rue Toulouse and Bourbon Street
Eyes alight
Clarinet to his lips
Preaching to the choir
With spodee odee on his breath
Right before the solo
First comes flood
Good Book says
Page 33
Then comes fire
When the Killer drives up
On the road to Tyre
Towing a piano
From a big fin Cadillac
Wine Wine Wine
Elderberry
Wine Wine Wine
Blackberry
And New Orleans is a woman
So they say
Moonlight, tide and mystery
That Creole girl in cool Monet
The one that got away
And you won’t find her
In the Quarter anymore
She’s in Houston now or Jersey
And she is never coming back
Fact is, all in blue:
Hey Jerry Lee
Pass that bottle to me.
