Lyrics
I got a feeling coming over me
Something make me wanna move my feet
It's getting hotter every beat in the heat
Something's burning down in New Orleans
Way down on Frenchmen by the avenue
We fit to party, gonna do what we do
Tell your friends and all your family, too
Something's burning down in New Orleans
(Chorus)
Everyday, every way
There ain't no stopping once my people get it popping, y'all
Every night, feelin' right
The crescent city's bumping, everybody's blood is pumping
Southern comfort and a twist a lime
Is all I need to get to feeling fine
Shoot it back and watch this girl unwind
Something's burning down in New Orleans
(Chorus)
The sun is rising, but we've just begun
The ladies looking like they want some fun
All the fellas wanna give 'em some
Something's burning down in New Orleans
There ain't no telling when it's gonna end
We keep it live, don't let no records spin
New Orleans' living 'cause the love within
Something's burning down in New Orleans
