Now won’t you come along with meTo the Mississippi?We’ll take a trip to the land of dreamsBlowing down the river, down to New Orleans
The band is there to meet usOld friends to greet usThat’s where the line and the dark folks meetA heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street
I said, Basin Street, Basin StreetWhere the elite always meetDown in New Orleans, the land of dreamsYou’ll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really meansJust to be, yes, siree, in New OrleansThe land of dreams where I can loseMy Basin Street blues
Now, you’re glad you came with meDown the MississippiWe took a trip in a land of dreamsAnd floated down the river down to New Orleans
Where to, Basin Street, Basin StreetWhere the elite always meetDown in New Orleans, the land of dreamsYou’ll never know how, how much it seems
Or just how much it really meansJust to be, yes, siree, yeah, New OrleansThe land of dreams where I can loseMy Basin Street blues

WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN
Oh, when the saints go marchin’ in,Oh, when the saints go marchin’ in,Lord, I want to be in that numberWhen the saints go marchin’ in.
And when the sun, begins to shine,And when the sun, begins to shine,Oh, how I want to be in that numberWhen the sun begins to shine.
Oh, when the trumpet, sounds its callOh, when the trumpet, sounds its call,Lord, how I want to be in that numberWhen the trumpet sounds its call.
Oh, when the saints go marchin’ in,Oh, when the saints go marchin’ in,Lord, how I want to be in that numberWhen the saints go marchin’ in.
