Louisiana Purchase
IRVING BERLIN
Louisiana purchase
I'll tell you what it means
It means I'd like to sell you New Orleans
Come on, come on and you all can go to town
Way down in New Orleans
Louisiana salesman with nothing in his jeans
That's why I'd like to sell you New Orleans
Come on, come on
And do all the things there are
To do in New Orleans
Where does that heat come from?
That rhythmic beat come from?
And that red meat come from? New Orleans
Louisiana purchase, I told you what it means
So won't you let me sell you New Orleans?
Come on, come on and you all can go to town
Way down in New Orleans
