The Band Played On |
| Do i make you feel pretty |
| When i say take another piece of my heart |
| Feeling drunk like a sailor blistered on |
| Mardi gras day |
| Feeling drunk on mardi gras day |
| Where is that scarecrow who used to walk on |
| Your arm |
| When we used to stroll down decatur street |
| Tell me do he say how much he loves you |
| Does he whisper how much he loves you when |
| The trumpets start to play |
| And the band played on |
| The band played on |
| Yeah, the band played on |
| And the band played on |
| Sad as it may be, new orleans will be on its knees |
| While the band, while the band played on |
| Baby, don’t mean maybe |
| Someday i’ll come back again |
| When i get home to new orleans |
| Every day gonna be peaches and cream and |
| Pecan pie |
| Oh so sweet coming down the street |
| And the band played on |
| The band played on |
| The band played on |
| Lord have mercy on me |
| The band played on |
| So sad and sweet |
| Sad and sweet |
| That’s what it be |
| I lost my new orleans |
| That’s alright she’ll be back again someday |
| I know it |
| She’ll be back again someday |
