Well I'm a cotton wearing jazz 
Playin'rock'n'roll blues
 Man from new orlean
Well I'm a jack dance soul  [bad word] makin' blues
 Man from new orlean
Wachin' me stuck my stuff 
Wachin' ain't good enought
Cause i'm harder then the brand new red beans
Because i'm Cotton Joe from New Orlean
Well i'm a slow-walking, fast-talking, hard spoken blues
 Man from new orlean
Well i'm a woman-chasing, love-making, heart-breaking blues
 Man from new orlean
Waching me do my thing 
Give me warm and charming swing
Cause i'm harder then the brand new red beans
Because i'm Cotton Joe from New Orlean
Well I'm a cotton wearing jazz playin'rock'n'roll blues
 Man from new orlean
Well I'm a jack dance soul [bad word] makin' blues
 Man from new orlean
Wachin'me stuck my stuff
Wachin' ain't good enought
Cause i'm harder then the brand new red beans
Because i'm Cotton Joe from New Orlean
