The Spotted Cat
I wanna go where Magnolias bloom
And giant Oak Trees rustle tunes
Of old songs sang by ancestors
Sittin’ on a tree-swing tapping on the knee
From dusk ‘till dawn in Frenchmen street
All kinds of colors all kinds of music
I wanna go to the French Quarter
Where Kid Ory and Satchmo are still hot on the playlist
Big Chiefs and tambourins of Mardi Grass Indians
Struttin' down the street in a second line parade
Eat a little Crawfish eat the biggest po’boy
A steaming gumbo before we hit the clubs
The Spotted Cat and the House of Blues
I Can’t let go i’m hooked
Clap along if you feel like clapping
The Big Easy Moves me
I wanna go to Jackson Square
Eat Creole Food and play Guitar
Bubbles blown by a funny looking dude
A spooky kinda moonshine reflecting on the streets
Tarot!! Divination!! and Voodoo Women
Are part of the street-life part of the scene
The Spotted Cat and ...
I don’t care about the pouring rains
Come what may i’m not ashamed
I don’t mind about wading in the water
No burdens not a thing on my mind
It’s a trip like i got wings
I’m gonna loose track of time
A delicious way of being swamped
Trippin’ on music that’s my thing
I wanna go where Trumpet’s sing
In harmony with the Mississippi River
Hustles and bustles the sound of the living
Swinging like a monkey right behind the Mule
Clarinet take me up to the highest notes
I hang out for music all around the fairgrounds
The Spotted Cat and ...
I don’t care about hammering rains
Troubles are fading when we walk in the sun
I don’t mind about wading in the water
Go crazy ‘n join me we’ll have a blast
It’s a trip like i got wings
I’m gonna loose track of time
A delicious way of being swamped
Trippin’ on music that’s my thing
The Spotted Cat and the House of Blues
The Big Easy moves me! Jock-A-Mo Fee-na-né
