Now won't you come along with me
To the Mississippi
We'll take a trip to the land of dreams
Floating down the river down to New Orleans
The band is there to meet us
Old friends to greet us
That's where the light and the dark folks meet
A heaven on Earth, they call it Basin Street
I said Basin Street, is the street
Where the elite always meet
Down in New Orleans, a land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
Just to be, yes siree
In New Orleans, a land of dreams
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues
Now ain't you glad you came with me
Down the Mississippi
We took a trip, a land of dreams
And we floated down the river down to New Orleans
We went to Basin Street, Basin Street
Where the elite always meet
Down in New Orleans, a land of dreams
You'll never know how much it seems
Or just how much it really means
Just to be, yes siree
In New Orleans, a land of dreams
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues
