Queen Of New Orleans     (J. Bon Jovi & D. Stewart)

She said baby our love's just like your songs,
The best ain't bad but the words are all wrong.
It's time to pack my bags, it's time to just move on,
She sang, Johnny, I'm gone, gone, gone.
And she was gone.

Me and Leigh met summer of '95,
In a burgundy dress lookin' finer than a French wine.
A Cajun queen with another side,
She was a schoolboy's dream, I was out my mind.
She was lookin' fine, she said 'You want to drive me home'.
But what I didn't know...

Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the streets of New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - It was almost like a dream.

That night I made a move, man, I fell hard,
When I put my hands in her cookie jar.
She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star,
I was a deer in the lights of a speeding car.
Nothing's what is seems,
She was a Venus de Milo in her sister's jeans.

Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the streets of New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - It was almost like a dream.

Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the streets of New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing with the queen down Bourbon Street.

Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the streets of New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Nothing's what it seems in New Orleans,
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing with the queen down Bourbon Street.

Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans.
