Randy Newman - New Orleans Wins the War слова песни




Don`t remember much about my baby days,But I been toldWe used to live on Willow near the Garden DistrictNext to the Sugar BowlMomma used to wheel me past an ice cream wagonOne side for White and one side for ColoredI remember trash cans floatin` down Canal StreetIt rained every day one summerMomma used to take me to Audubon ParkShow me the ways of the worldShe said, "here comes a white boy, there goes a black one, that one`s an octoroonThis little cookie here`s a macaroon, that big round thing`s a red balloonAnd the paper down here`s called the PicayuneAnd here`s a New Orleans tune"In 1948 my Daddy came to the cityTold the people that they`d won the warMaybe they`d heard it, maybe notProbably they`d heard it and just forgot`Cause they built him a platform there in Jackson SquareAnd the people came to hear him from everywhereThey started to party and they partied some more`Cause New Orleans had won the war(We knew we`d do it, we done whipped the Yankees)Daddy said, "I`m gonna get this boy out of this placeBound to sap his strengthPeople have fun here, and I think that they shouldBut nobody from here every come to no goodThey`re gonna pickle him in brandy and tell him he`s savedThen throw fireworks all `round his grave"So he took us down to the airport, and flew us back to L.A.That was the end of my baby daysBlue blue morning, blue blue dayAll your bad dreams drift awayIt`s a blue blue morning, of a blue blue dayLose those bad dreamsThose gray clouds above you, what you want them around with you for?You got someone to love youWho could ask for more?It`s a blue blue morning, of a blue blue dayAll your bad dreams drift away
