Lyrics

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.

Behind the Laughter

The song is part of the "Oh, Streetcar! (The Musical)" track on the album Songs in the Key of Springfield.

The song "New Orleans" gained a lot of controversy because of its lyrics portraying the city in a bad light. In response, in the following episode, Bart wrote on the chalkboard, "I will not defame New Orleans" as an apology.
