Won't you come along with me
Mau ikut saya?
to the Mississippi
Ke Mississippi
we'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Kita akan naik perahu ke negeri impian
Steam down the river, down to New Orleans
Berkendara di sungai, menuju New Orleans

The band's there to meet us
Orkestra sudah menunggu kita
Old friends there to greet us
Teman-teman lama siap menyambut kita
Where all the proud and elite folks meet
Tempat berkumpulnya orang-orang terhormat dan elit
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street
Surga di bumi, mereka menyebutnya Basin Street

Basin Street is the street
Basin Street adalah jalan
where the best folks always meet
Tempat orang-orang terbaik selalu berkumpul
in New Orleans, land of dreams
Di New Orleans, negeri impian
you'll never know how nice it seems,
Kau takkan pernah tahu betapa indahnya,
or just how much it really means
atau seberapa berarti hal itu sebenarnya

Glad to be, oh yes-siree
Senang sekali berada di sini, oh ya
Where welcome's free and dear to me
Tempat sambutannya hangat dan berarti bagi saya
Where I can lose, lose my Basin Street Blues
Di mana saya bisa melupakan, melupakan kesedihan Basin Street saya

Basin Street, oh Basin Street
Basin Street, oh Basin Street
Is the street, mama (scat)
Ini jalan, mama (scat)
New Orleans, land of dreams
New Orleans, negeri impian
(scat)
