Saturday Night On Bourbon Street
Gayle Ackroyd and Janice Powers
@1995 (Peer Music Publishing)
Way down south in Louisiana
In the heart of the city on the Mississippi bend
There’s a street where I like to go
To here the blues and the Zydeco
There’s little boys moving like marionettes
Tapping their toes to the clarinet
They’ll dance for money and a cigarette
It’s a party of life one night of the week
Twisting in a city that never sleeps or (you know you’ll never get to sleep)
It’s Saturday night on Bourbon Street
Hey, Hey, Whoa, Whoa
It’s Saturday Night on Bourbon Street
The lights are bright and the music’s loud
The drinks ain’t cheap and the girls ain’t proud
You let it go and you don’t hold back
Hey where d’ you learn to dance like that
There’s a man with a dog and a saxophone
He needs money, the dog needs a bone
They draw a crowd by the corner stone
Every bodies shaking and moving their feet
Clapping their hands and keeping the beat
It’s Saturday night on Bourbon Street
Hey, Hey, Whoa, Whoa
It’s Saturday night on Bourbon Street
When I go home on the morning train
My heart will never beat the same
I’ve heard the rhythm of New Orleans
Mississippi mud stirring up my dreams
Dancing’ girls and the Dixie bands
Hurricanes and the T-shirt stands
Voodoo Queen and her feathered friends
It’s a party of life one night of the week
Twisting in a city that never sleeps or (You get so high that you can’t sleep)
It’s Saturday night on Bourbon Street
Hey, Hey, Whoa, Whoa
It’s Saturday Night on Bourbon Street
Hey, Hey, Whoa, Whoa
It’s Saturday Night on Bourbon Street
It’s Saturday night on Bourbon Street
