about

You Belong In New Orleans (Ike Eichenberg)
Ike wrote this artful piece about all the things that make me like New Orleans. It nails the significance of New Orleans as one of the have-to-go-to places to experience the melting pot of American music at its finest.

lyrics

When you sing ol’ Nat King Cole
Louis Armstrong
Jelly Roll
You belong in New Orleans

You got style
You got grace
You got the blues
Written on your face
And you belong in New Orleans

If Basie could have heard you
He’d have put you in his band
He’d want to take you with him
To swing across the land

You got zing
You got swing
People come to hear you sing
And you belong in New Orleans

If Bogart could have seen you
He’d have put you on the screen
There never would have been Bacall
He’d want you for his queen

You’re cool
Sure enough
You’re hot
When you strut your stuff
And you belong in New Orleans
