1. Down in New Orleans... back in the roaring 20 days
Folks would come to Basin Street... to hear the King play
Yeah, the Creole Jazz Band.. with King O... Louie Armstrong too....
Storyville was swingin' to... the Dixieland they'd do...

Chorus 1:
Ole King Olver's Creole Jazz Band... kept them on their feet
People crammed Pete LaLa's Place... they waited in the street
'cause, Ole King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band... a lot of folks don't know...
But, they were mighty (very) popular... a long, long time ago

2. Lil played the piano.. 'n the King, he blew his horn
that was back when Dixieland 'n Jazz was bein' born
you could hear their news about.. a block whichever way...
that New Orleans' wind blew them sounds... the Creole Jazz Band played...

(repeat Chorus)
