Lyrics

Born in New Orleans

I?m what you call a lucky guy,
Born in the land of deep fried seafood platters,
You know that it matters,
Where you come from, where you come from,
So glad I was born here in New Orleans,
So glad I was born here in New Orleans,

We love our food, yea we live to eat,
And even white people like to second line with there pretty white feet,
We love our parties, like our Mardi Gras,
Shiny beads and plastic cups are what we jump up for,
So glad I was born here in New Orleans,
So glad I was born here in New Orleans,

And this is the city that care forgot,
But you know we care about a whole lot,
We care about a hurricane that could blow us a way,
We care about catching a coconut in the Zulu parade,
We care to live our life in our own way,
And we pray that the Saints are gonna win someday,
So glad I was born here in New Orleans,
So glad I was born here in New Orleans,

Some people say there from Nawllins,
And if you?re from Uptown,
You might say you?re from New-or-yens,
But me I just say I?m from New-awlins,
But you never, never, never say New Orleens,
No you never, never, never say New Orleens,
Cause if you do they will know that you are not from here,
And some may say,
He must be from away,

Born and raised spend my days in New Orleans,
Couldn?t write this song if I wasn?t born in New Orleans,
Trying to make a living,
Tough to pay tuition in New Orleans,
Still living on Soniat Street in New Orleans,
