Heads snap at the Yankee white boy
Anachronistic and jarring
Tie dyed top hat
Garish and loud
Quilted and heavy
Little Shop of Fantasy
Decatur Street, Nuh Orlins
Where Dr. John got his voodoo sticks
For an Arkansas President and bad boy
A little grie-grie for me
To strut and stagger on the street
the Fairgrounds
Change of attitude or perspective
Ready to join a Krewe, a parade,
or jazz funeral procession
on Bourbon
Down in the Quarter
