Singin' on the Street

(In New Orleans)

CHORUS 1

We can clap and we can sing, (like we're)
Singin' on the street in New Orleans,
Ah, Gospel music is the thing, (like we're)
Singin' on the street in New Orleans,
Ev'rybody knows the scene, (like we're)
Singin' on the street in New Orleans,
Ah, Join us as we shout and sing,(like we're)
Singin' on the street in New Orleans.

VERSE 1

If you know about the Lord's great mercy,
Won't you sing about the Father's love,
If you know you've tasted of
        the Lord's great mercy, won't you
Sing about the story, sing about the glory,
Sing about the home we've got above.

(CHORUS 2)

We can stomp and we can sing...

VERSE 2

When you hear that old jazzman's piano,
Mixin' Gospel with the blues,
Then you know that someone told him of the story
That we call the very, very, very, very Good News!

CHORUS 3 (Up 1 Whole Step)

We can shuffle, we can swing
Singin' on the street in New Orleans,
Ah, Join us as we shout and sing,
Singin' on the street in New Orleans,
Ah, Gospel shuffle, Gospel swing,
Singin' on the street in New Orleans,
The Gospel message is the thing!
Singin' on the street in New Orleans.

VERSE 3

When you're walking on the golden streets of heaven,
You'll be singing of the Father's love,
Well, just get yourself into the habit
        long before then, you can
Sing about the story, sing about the glory,
Sing about the home we've got above.

CHORUS 4 (Up 1 Whole Step)

Jesus is the risen Lamb,
Sing it on the street in New Orleans
His Father is the great I AM,
Sing it on the street in New Orleans
And they have sent the Holy Ghost,
Sing it on the street in New Orleans
And you can be His earthly host!
Sing it on the street in New Orleans

VERSE 1/CODA

If you know about the Lord's great mercy,
Won't you sing about the Father's love,
If you know you've tasted of
        the Lord's great mercy, won't you
Sing about the story, sing about the glory,
Sing about the home we've got above.
    Sing about the story, sing about the glory,
    Sing about the home we've got above.
Sing about the story, sing about the glory,
Sing about the home we've got above.
    Sing about the story, sing about the glory,
    Sing about the home we've got above.
Jesus is the story, Jesus is the glory,
Jesus is the home we've got above!
