- Long before the Superdome
- Where the Saints of football play
- Lived a city that the damned call home
- Hear their hellish roundelay
- New Or-le-ans,
- Home of pirates, drunks, and whores,
- New Or-le-ans,
- Tacky overpriced souvenir stores.
- If you want to go to Hell, you should take a trip
- To the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississip.
- New Or-le-ans,
- Stinky, rotten, vomiting, vile,
- New Or-le-ans,
- Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul.
- New Or-le-ans,
- Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank,
- New Or-le-ans.
