The Andrews Sisters

The Andrews Sisters were a highly successful close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia Andrews (July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967), soprano Maxene Angelyn Andrews (January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia Marie "Patty" Andrews (born February 16, 1918). Throughout their long career, the sisters sold well over 75 million records (the last official count released by MCA Records in the mid-1970s). Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of rhythm and blues or jump blues. more »

Well, way down yonder in New Orleans 
In the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden
That's what I mean, ah

Creole babies with flashin' eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs
Stop, oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile
Stop, you bet your life you'll linger there a little while
There is heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
Way down yonder in New Orleans

Way down yonder in New Orleans
Way down in the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden
You know that's what I mean

Creole babies with flashin' eyes 
Softly whisper with tender sighs, stop
Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile
Stop, you bet your life you'll linger there a little while

They've got angels right here on earth
Wearing little blue jeans
Way down yonder in New Orleans

Stop, oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile
Stop, you bet your life you'll linger there a little while
There is heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
Way down yonder in New Orleans

Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden
That's what I mean

Creole babies with flashin' eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs
Oh stop oh, won't you give your lady fair, a little smile
I gotta stop, you bet your life you'll linger there a little while
There is heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
Way down yonder in New Orleans
