Lyrics
Ladies and gentlemen Have I got a story for you Now, listen, I wasn't always this big

When I was a little gator I dreamed I'd get the chance To blow my horn in New Orleans And make the people dance

I practiced playin' night and day To make this trumpet sing All the cats in the Bayou know I can play this thing

Well, I was born, I was born to blow this horn When I was born that early morn My mama said blow your horn

I'm a star, they all come from near and far Late at night to early morn I was born to blow this horn

When I'm on the bandstand I play with heart and soul I wanna fill the world with rhythm And let the good times roll

I play for people walkin' by I play for kings and queens Come and hear me wail all night When you're down in New Orleans

Well, I was born, I was born to blow this horn When I was born that early morn Mama said blow your horn, son

I'm a star, they all come from near and far Late at night to early morn I was born to blow this horn

Yeah, here I go I sound good, don't I?

I was born, I was born to blow this horn When I was born that early morn Mama said blow your horn

I'm a star, they all come from near and far Late at night to early morn I was born to blow this horn
