New Orleans’s Wake (A paradelle)
The beat’s engrained in your brain, drummer boy
The beat’s engrained in your brain, drummer boy
Always tapping paradiddles on parking meters
Always tapping paradiddles on parking meters
Your engrained paradiddles beat, always parking in
The engrained tapping drummer meters, boy brain
You refuse to snooze behind cool blues, jazzman
You refuse to snooze behind cool blues, jazzman
You incomplete with no beat of thumping feet
You incomplete with no beat of thumping feet
Thumping behind blues cool beat you refuse,
You snooze jazzman, incomplete
Katrina awakened a soulful sound, horn blower
Katrina awakened a soulful sound, horn blower
Bluesy riffles rocking, rolling Bourbon Street
Bluesy riffles rocking, rolling Bourbon Street
Rocking blower, bluesy horn, street rolling
Katrina, Bourbon Street sound, awakened riffles
Rose the dead in the wake’s wake, grim reaper
Rose the dead in the wake’s wake, grim reaper
Improvised tunes of French Quarter moons
Improvised tunes of French Quarter moons
Tunes rose grim dead in the reaper moon
Of improvised wake in the French Quarter
