Ah
Magnolia trees at night
Sparkling bright
Fields of cotton look wintry white
When it's Christmas time
In New Orleans
A-do-ba-do-dun-do-ba-do-do

A barefoot choir in prayer
Oh, it fills the air
Mississippi folks are gathering there
When it's Christmas time
In New Orleans

You'll see a Dixieland Santa Claus
Leading the band
To a good old Creole beat
And golly, what a spirit
You can only hear it
Down on Basin Street

Your cares will disappear
Ah, when you hear
Glory, Hallelujah, St. Nicholas is here
When it's Christmas time
In New Orleans

Ah, you'll see a Dixieland Santa Claus
Leading the band
To a good old Creole beat
And golly, what a spirit
You can only hear it
Down on Basin Street

Your cares will disappear
Oh, when you hear
Glory, Hallelujah, St. Nicholas is here
When it's Christmas time
In New Orleans, oh, do you know what I'm talking about?
It's Christmas time in
Hey, feels so good to be in New Orleans, yeah
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans
Ee, yeah, yeah
