Dreams / New Orleans Will Be There

from Laz Jazz At The Bistro by Brothers Lazaroff

/

lyrics

I spent the other night in an old hotel
The lobby manager, he was mad a hell
Trying to shoo away the vagrants, and keep the place clean
He was hollerin’ at the bellhop it was really quite a scene

But the park outside the lobby was no picnic either
A long white limo idled with no chauffer driver
Ladies talking in tongues, men selling all their wares
It smelled of something strange, and no one even cared

Chorus:
New Orleans will be there when the sun comes up
New Orleans will be there when the sun comes up
If your bounty runnith over, or you got an empty cup
New Orleans will be there when the sun comes up

Waitress came to my table at the corner café
Looked me up and down, but had nothing to say
I tried to order tea and toast, but the kitchen it was broke
I let out a little chuckle, but she said it ain’t no joke

So I hopped aboard a trolley just to head uptown
I knew the conductor back when he was an unemployed clown
Bells were ringing loud, people talking soft
The trolley came to a screeching halt, but nobody got off

Chorus

Uptown on a street lined with Japanese Lilies
I went to go see my old pal Sticky Willie
When I got to his house, the front door was locked
I peeped in the side window and man I was shocked

So I found the hotel concierge, that jolly man
He made me swear I was a Jelly Roll Morton fan
He said I had to come back to see the lilies in bloom
I said I’ve had enough for one day please just show me to my room

Chorus
