Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro.:

Standin' in the corner

Of Toulouse and Dauphine

Waitin' on Marie-Ondine

 I'm tryin' to place a tune

 Under a Louisiana moonbeam

On the planet of New Orleans

 In a bar they call The Saturn

And in her eyes of green

And somethin' that she said in a dream

 Inside of my suit I got my mojo root

 And a true love figurine

For the planet of New Orleans

Chorus

  New Orleans - With other life upon it

  And everythin' that's shakin' in between

  If you should ever land upon it

  You better know what's on it

  The planet of New Orleans

 Now I'm tryin' to find my way

Through the rain and the steam

I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen

 And then I heard her say

Somethin' in the limousine

 'bout taking a ride across the planet of New Orleans

 Instr.: --> 2x

 If she was an ace

 And I was just a jack

 And the cards were never seen

We could have been the king and the queen

 But she took me back to her courtyard

 Where magnolia perfume screams

 Behind the gates and the granites

 Of the planet of New Orleans

Chorus twice

 Instr.:

  ---> repeate to fade
