Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Papa Mali
A new Hunter song played by Papa Mali with Bill Kreutzmann.
Well now come on people, with your back against the wall
I'll show you how to do that New Orleans crawl
Fall down on your hands, crawl around on your knees
Round in a circle like you're looking for your keys
Ain't no one too big, ain't no one too small
Get down and do that New Orleans crawl
It's all for one, one for all
Let's go do the New Orleans crawl
Don't be a stand-off, don't you stall
Everybody do that New Orleans crawl
Twinkle twinkle that ain't all
New Orleans cops doing the New Orleans crawl
Listen here mama, you're such a doll
Learn how to do that New Orleans crawl It's all for one, one for all
Let's go do the New Orleans crawl
You're down on your luck but you know you can't fall
Once you can do that New Orleans crawl
Politicians climbing up the wall
That's how they do that New Orleans crawl
You got your eye on the bat, not on the ball
You're running round the bases, that New Orleans crawl
It's all for one, one for all
Let's go do the New Orleans crawl
Well I'm standing in the phone booth, I'm trying to make a call
But the water keeps rising, and it's filling up the stall
Plumber men ain't helping, they ain't been no help at all
They dropped the ball and you took the fall
That bitch Katrina was a hell of a squall
She tried to take us out but she couldn't kill us all
It's all for one, one for all
Let's go do the New Orleans crawl
