New Orleans Wins The War (LP Version) - Randy Newman[00:00:00]

Don't remember much about my baby days[00:00:05]

But I been told[00:00:09]

We used to live on Willow near the Garden District[00:00:12]

Next to the Sugar Bowl[00:00:17]

Momma used to wheel me past an ice cream wagon[00:00:22]

One side for White and one side for Colored[00:00:25]

I remember trash cans floatin' down Canal Street[00:00:29]

It rained every day one summer[00:00:32]

Momma used to take me to Audubon Park[00:00:36]

Show me the ways of the world[00:00:40]

She said "here comes a white boy there goes a black one [00:00:42]

That one's an octoroon[00:00:47]

This little cookie here's a macaroon that big round thing's[00:00:50]

A red balloon[00:00:55]

And the paper down here's called the Picayune[00:00:57]

And here's a New Orleans tune"[00:01:01]

In 1948 my Daddy came to the city[00:01:17]

Told the people that they'd won the war[00:01:20]

Maybe they'd heard it maybe not[00:01:24]

Probably they'd heard it and just forgot[00:01:27]

'Cause they built him a platform there in Jackson Square[00:01:30]

And the people came to hear him from everywhere[00:01:34]

They started to party and they partied some more[00:01:38]

'Cause New Orleans had won the war[00:01:41]

(We knew we'd do it we done whipped the Yankees)[00:01:49]

Daddy said "I'm gonna get this boy out of this place[00:01:58]

Bound to sap his strength[00:02:01]

People have fun here and I think that they should[00:02:05]

But nobody from here every come to no good[00:02:08]

They're gonna pickle him in brandy and tell him he's saved[00:02:11]

Then throw fireworks all 'round his grave"[00:02:15]

So he took us down to the airport and flew us back to L A [00:02:18]

That was the end of my baby days[00:02:22]

Blue blue morning blue blue day[00:02:25]

All your bad dreams drift away[00:02:32]

It's a blue blue morning of a blue blue day[00:02:37]

Lose those bad dreams[00:02:46]

Those gray clouds above you what you want them around[00:02:53]

With you for [00:02:57]

You got someone to love you[00:03:00]

Who could ask for more [00:03:03]

It's a blue blue morning of a blue blue day[00:03:06]

All your bad dreams drift away[00:03:14]
