Royal Orleans lyrics

One-time love,

Take care how you use it

Try to make it last all night

And if you take your pick,

Be careful how you choose it

Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.

Feel it bite.

A man I know

Went down to Louisiana,

Had himself a bad, bad fight

And when the sun peeked through

John Cameron with Suzanna,

He kissed the whiskers, left and right.

Whiskers!

Now, now, now, fright subsides

Out at a hotel in the quarter,

Our friends check in to pass the night

Now love gets hot,

But fire preceded water

Poor whiskers set the room alight.

Whiskers!

Down on Bourbon Street,

You know, it's right

You can see, my friend,

They run around all through the night

Most everywhere

Until the closet's bare

Run for the razor fun

Doin' up my hair.

New Orleans queens

Sure know how to schmooze it

Maybe for some that seems alright

When I step out,

strut down with my sugar

She'd best not talk like Barry White!

Now, one-time love,

Take care how you use it

Try to make it last all night

Take your pick

Be careful how you choose it

Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite, ah.
