Lyrics:

On the water down in New Orleans
My baby's the pearl of the quarter
She's a charmer like you never seen
Singin' voulez, voulez, voulez-vous

Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay
Red beans and rice for a quarter
You can see her almost any day
Singin' voulez, voulez, voulez-vous

And if you hear from my Louise
Won't you tell her I say hello
Please make it clear when her day is done
She got a place to go

I walked alone down the Miracle Mile
I met my baby by the Shrine of the Martyr
She stole my heart with her Cajun smile
Singin' voulez, voulez, voulez-vous

She loved the million dollar words I say
She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her
She said she loved me and was on her way
Singin' voulez, voulez, voulez-vous

And if you hear from my Louise
Won't you tell her I love her so
Please make it clear when her day is done
She got a place to go

And if you hear from my Louise
Won't you tell her I love her so
Please make it clear when her day is done
She got a place to go
