Standin' in the cornerOf toulouse and dauphineWaitin'
on marie-ondineI'm tryin' to place a tuneUnder a
louisiana moonbeamOn the planet of New OrleansIn a bar they call
the saturnAnd in her eyes of greenAnd somethin' that she
said in a dreamInside of my suit I got my mojo rootAnd a true
love figurineFor the planet of new orleansNew Orleans - the
other planetWith other life upon itAnd everythin'
that's shakin' in betweenIf you should ever land upon
itYou better know what's on itThe planet of New OrleansNow
I'm tryin' to find my wayThrough the rain and the
steamI'm lookin' straight ahead through the screenAnd
then I heard her saySomethin' in the limousine'bout
taking a ride across the planet of New OrleansIf she was an
aceAnd I was just a jackAnd the cards were never seenWe could
have been the king and the queenBut she took me back to her
courtyardWhere magnolia perfume screamsBehind the gates and the
graniteOf the planet of New Orleans
