The Day It Snows On Christmas |
| There’ll be no crazy down on Bourbon Street |
| The second line is gonna lose the beat |
| They won’t be having fun at Mardi Gras |
| And all the Cajuns going to move to Arkansas |
| Yeah, the alligator’s going to fly |
| And doubloons’ll rain from the sky |
| And the Pontchartrain will freeze and we’re all gonna skate |
| The day it snows on Christmas, yeah |
| In New Orleans |
| The day it snows on Christmas, yeah, yeah |
| There’ll be no flavor to the beans and rice |
| And Mr. Emeril will forget the spice |
| Well, let me tell you 'bout the odds of that |
| Just like trying to hold the mighty Mississippi back |
| Yeah, the alligator’s going to fly |
| And doubloons’ll rain from the sky |
| And the Pontchartrain will freeze and we’re all gonna skate |
| The day it snows on Christmas, yeah |
| In New Orleans |
| The day it snows on Christmas, yeah, yeah |
| Don’t take no skis down to the levee |
| Don’t take no sleigh down to Monkey Hill, no, no |
| Santa ain’t bringing no snow this year |
| And he never will |
| The coffee won’t have any chicory |
| The moss will fall right off the live oak tree |
| Tchoupitoulas won’t have one pothole |
| And the saints’ll go marching to the super bowl |
| Yeah, the alligator’s gonna fly |
| And doubloons’ll fall from the sky |
| And the Pontchartrain will freeze and we’re all gonna skate |
| The day it snows on Christmas, yeah |
| In New Orleans |
| The day it snows on Christmas day |
| I can’t wait |
| The day it snows on Christmas, yeah, yeah |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Merry Christmas, y’all |
