University of Bourbon Street Jimmy Buffett (Ft. Preservation Hall Jazz Band)

[Verse 1]
I guess the point of goin' to college
Was to acquire myself a little knowledge
And help me figure out
What life was really all about
It made Peets and J.D. happy
And set me wild and free
Then I danced out of Mississippi
To the University of Bourbon Street

[Verse 2]
I sang, "Hey Pocky A-way"
On the streetcar headed uptown
I went to class every day
And never wore a frown
I was taught by the Neville Brothers
Benny Spellman, and a whole lotta others
That brass brand blew my mind
When I joined in thе second line
I felt thе power of the gris-gris
Got my soul saved by the backbeat
I was branded by Jean Lafitte
At the University of Bourbon Street

[Verse 3]
I sang on a paddlewheel boat
Floated down the Mississippi
Helped build a Mardi Gras float
And smoked a joint with a beautiful hippie
I heard a church choir sing "Change my guitar strings"
Thought things just couldn't get better
'Til I walked to the Central Grocery
And had myself a muffaletta
I took my lunchbox to the streetcar
That Tennessee named "Desire"
Then I followed my dancin' feet
To the University of Bourbon Street
