Told the people that they'd won the war
 Maybe they'd heard it, maybe not
 Probably they'd heard it and just forgot
 'Cause they built him a platform there in Jackson Square
 And the people came to hear him from everywhere
 They started to party and they partied some more
 'Cause New Orleans had won the war
 (We knew we'd do it, we done whipped the Yankees)

 Daddy said, "I'm gonna get this boy out of this place
 Bound to sap his strength
 People have fun here, and I think that they should
 But nobody from here every come to no good
 They're gonna pickle him in brandy and tell him he's saved
 Then throw fireworks all 'round his grave"

 So he took us down to the airport, and flew us back to L.A.
 That was the end of my baby days
 Blue blue morning, blue blue day
 All your bad dreams drift away
 It's a blue blue morning, of a blue blue day
 Lose those bad dreams
 Those gray clouds above you, what you want them around
      with you for?
 You got someone to love you
 Who could ask for more?
 It's a blue blue morning, of a blue blue day
 All your bad dreams drift away
