Zyx of It All

Xylophones ping the 'Orleans' Umbrella dance You'll soon join in with the thunderous Zedeco music two stepping through the streets While the rest of the nation looks on in horror Voodoo Queens follow the Exorcist around Unless you specify otherwise, you'll find The tour bus will drop you at the Cemetery Suddenly you'll hear 'Marie Laveau's Tomb come alive Rest assured that Voodoo is not to be mocked Queens are also present in the form of Drags Preposterous? Come take a Bourbon St. stroll On the left side you'll find Al Hirt's Club Never to be out done by Pete Fountain's band More tourist are hospitalized here than any other place Lax atmosphere contributes to the violence Knowing that police have little chance Justice will always remain slim Innocents are mostly forgotten Holding cells runneth over Giving way to a Saints Football game For everyone to set aside worries Especially the owner now quite senile Don't however be discouraged Come one and all to New Orleans Be invested in the 'City that Care forgot' Aware that Tomb 374 awaits your arrival! ================================= Zedeco Dancers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hx9AgSWywg
