Headin for New Orleans versuri

Headin for New Orleans lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, Burton Lane

DUKE
Where’s my cane and my stovepipe hat?
And where’s the diamond for my pink cravat?
Beginnin’ now, gonna live like a man of means
See that boat waitin’ by the shore?
Don’t cha know who it’s waitin’ for?
Don’t cha know little me is headin’ for New Orleans?

Headin’ for New Orleans
Where jubilee never ends
Headin’ for New Orleans
So goodbye, friends

Where’s my coat with the silk lapels?
My box of jewelry for the mad’moiselles?
My deck of cards with thе five extra aces and queens?
What a grеat hallelujah day
Fare thee well, man, I’m on my way
Headin’ for good old New Orleans

Headin’ for New Orleans
Where jubilee never ends
Headin’ for New Orleans
So goodbye, friends

Where’s my coat with the silk lapels?
My box of jewelry for the mad’moiselles?
My deck of cards with the five extra aces and queens?
What a great hallelujah day
Fare thee well, man, I’m on my way
Headin’ for New, headin’ for New, headin’ for New Orleans
