From the recording 99 Degrees
Lyrics
It’s where Dr. John went to ‘fessor Long Hair school New Orleans
and King Oliver taught Louis how to blow his tune where Booker, the Fatman, and Bartholomew were walkin’ to (“walkin” to New Orleans”)
Walkin’ on Bourbon St feel the grease under my feet sippin’ on a hurricane movin’ like a second line train holdin’ a hand so smooth baby, like we used to do
It’s a 24 hour town where the music keeps on rollin’ so baby can you hear me now I’ve gotta get back down where my souls keeps goin’
Walkin’ on Bourbon St feel the grease under my feet sippin’ on a hurricane movin’ like a second line train holdin’ a hand so smooth baby, I still hope it’s you
We’ve been stuck in this 9 to 5 but, I can feel the Gulf breeze blowin’ as long as I’m still alive I’ve gotta get back down where my soul keeps goin’
