Allen Toussaint - The Day It Snows On Christmas lyrics

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
