Basin Street Blues

(Verse)
Won'tcha come along with me
To the Mississippi?
We'll take the boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river to New Orleans
The band's there to meet us
Old friends to greet us
Where all the light and the dark folks meet
This is Basin Street

(Chorus)
Basin Street
Is the street
Where the elite
Always meet
In New Orleans

Land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means

Glad to be
Yessirree
Where welcome's free
Dear to me
Where I can lose
My Basin Street blues
