Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just like i think of you

Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to do

Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it's only your imagination again
Oh well

Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example i go around wanting you
Yet i can't imagine that you want me too

Do you know what it means to miss new orleans
And miss her each night and day
I know i'm not wrong because the feeling's
Getting stronger the longer i stay away

Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd love to see that old lazy mississippi
Running in the spring

Moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream about magnolias in june
And i'm wishin i was there

Do you know what it means to miss new orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more, i miss the one i care for
More than i miss new orleans

Oh please, don't talk about me when i'm gone
Although our friendship ceases from now on

Hey carmen, if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice

We are parting
You go your way
I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a little kiss
I hope that this brings lots of love to you

Makes no difference how i carry on
'cause baby i know you'd better not talk about me when i'm gone
