Uh New Orleans
To be sung with The Diamonds to the tune
"Little Darlin'"

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
New Orleans,
Uh New Orleans,
So, where'd you go?
My praying
Has been stronger
Than Brownie's
I know –
Uh uh uh uh uh
Showing
I know your levees
That we failed
Should be
Uh uh renewed.

New Orleans,
To keep you
And not disown
Whatever,
Along with bold
Empty promises
Planned to show
How soon till I uh say
Uh hold my hand.

New Orleans,
Could take longer
To try to show you
Uga uga uga uga
Just how well
I tread water,
Uga uga ug and ballyhoo
My help for you.
