Jazz Queen Ladies

Chorus:

Jazz Queen Ladies

Give us the beat, they took it away

I can’t go back, because they took it away

Jazz Queen Ladies

Give us the beat, they took it away

I can’t go back, because they took it away

I spend my check on a serenade

I look up, I don’t look back

I look up, I don’t look back

On the cover of a magazine

These days that don’t mean jack

These days that don’t mean jack

Chorus:

Jazz Queen Ladies

Give us the beat, they took it away

I can’t go back, because they took it away

Jazz Queen Ladies

Give us the beat, they took it away

I can’t go back, because they took it away

Chorus:

Jazz Queen Ladies

Give us the beat, they took it away

I can’t go back, because they took it away

Jazz Queen Ladies

Give us the beat, they took it away

I can’t go back, because they took it away

I spend my check on a serenade

I look up, I don’t look back

I look up, I don’t look back

On the cover of a magazine

These days that don’t mean jack

These days that don’t mean jack

Chorus:

Jazz Queen Ladies

Give us the beat, they took it away

I can’t go back, because they took it away

Jazz Queen Ladies

Give us the beat, they took it away

I can’t go back, because they took it away

Talk of the Town

The townies get out for the night

The talk is around

They’ll be dancing in the moonlight

At the talk of the town

And we’re gonna be hearing about it

For a long long time

Yeah we gonna be hearing about it

For a long long time

Louie plays up the street

At the talk of the town

He’ll be shaking up dancing feet

Its the talk of the town

And we’re gonna be hearing about it

For a long long time

And we’re gonna be hearing about it

For a long long time

Eh las Bah

Eh La Bah Chèri!

(2023 version)

Iko Iko an day

I'll see you out

Iko Iko an day

At the talk of the town

Iko Iko an day

I’ll see you out

Iko Iko an day

At the talk of the…

Drivin'

Return me to my Ocean Queen

Fill me to the top

With the wine of her good fortune

Feed me from those fruiting trees

Fill me to the top with the wine of their good fortune

Chours:

Drivin’ Through your mind

Feel my waves

Drivin’ Through your mind

Feel my waves

I remember well

Sleeping in the shallows

And I’m still there

Waking up in the shallows

When I need a bit of perspective

When I need a bit of reflectivness

I go back to the shallows

We all need a bit of perspective

We all need a bit of reflectivness

Go back to the shallow

Chorus:

Drivin’ Through your mind

Feel my waves

Drivin’ Through your mind

Feel my waves

Return me to my Ocean Queen

Fill me to the top

With the wine of her good fortune

Feed me from those fruiting trees

Fill me to the top with the wine of their good fortune

Chorus:

Drivin’ Through your mind

Feel my waves

Drivin’ Through your mind

Feel my waves
