I'm going back down in New Orleans
Yes I'm going back down in New Orleans
Well I'm going where I can get my rice and beans

We are the cookingest Creoles in the world you ever seen
We are the cookingest Creoles in the world you ever seen
And if you don't believe me follow me back to New Orleans

Well my man is a doctor and he lives 'off of rice and beans
Yes my man is a doctor and he lives off of rice and beans
That's why he done gone and left me back down in New Orleans

I've got the cookingest sister in the world you ever seen
I've got the cookingest sister in the world you ever seen
But she can't cook nothing but them rice and beans

And you can't tell me nothing baby that I never seen
Well you can't tell me nothing baby that I ever seen
And if you don't believe me follow me back to New Orleans
