She said, "Baby our love´s just like your songs
The beat ain´t bad but the words are all wrong
It´s time to pack my bags, it´s time to just move on"
She sang "Johnny I´m gone, gone, gone"

And she was gone

Me and Leigh met summer of ´95
In a burgundy dress lookin´ finer than a French wine
A Cajun queen with another side
She was a schoolboy´s dream, I was out of my mind
She was lookin´ fine
She said, "You want to drive me home?"
But what I didn´t know

Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)

It was almost like a dream
(Almost like a dream)

That night I made a move, man I fell hard
When I put my hands in her cookie jar
She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star
I was a deer in the lights of a speeding car
Nothing´s what it seems
She was a Venus de Milo in her sister´s jeans

Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
It was almost like a dream

(Almost like a dream)

Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street

Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Nothing´s what it seems in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)

Dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh (sha-la-la)
Dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
