When come to the city a place ya just can’t miss
Happy people everywhere a place you can’t resist
Its all about the music
It’s all about a live band
Its all about blues man
Giving he best he can

Down on Frenchman street
Let’s have a good time
Down on Frenchmen street
We listen to the second line

Ya got music clubs on the left music on the right
People on the dance floor and nobody upright
Ya got great chef in the kitchens cooking up good food
Let’s all have a bowl of gumbo to put ya in the mood

Down on Frenchmen street
Let’s have a good time
Down on Frenchmen street
We listen to the second line.

There’s a girls on the corner
Playing a violin
Selling out her soul
confessing all her sins.
There’s a guy on the block playing a box guitar
Wanted to a rock star but he didn’t get to far

Down on Frenchmen street
Let’s have a good time
Down on Frenchmen street
We listen to the second line
