Hurricane warnings are just part of life
They are always there, waiting out in the Gulf
And when it rains, it rains, it’s no gentle refrain
You are drenched in the warmth of Louisiana rain
But here in the Big Easy, the music won’t cease
Not even a hurricane can quiet its song
Find yourself shelter, a bar down the street
Where the Zydeco rhythm is steady and sweet
Relax, let the storm swirl over New Orleans
Listen to the heartbeat of this city
Winds will die down, but the music won’t cease
The Mississippi will calm, and the music brings peace,
