Woke up Monday morning

And I saw it on TV

High water flowing

In the streets of New Orleans

Called up the President

Called up in Baton Rouge

But all they said was the levées done broke

And there ain't nothing they gonna do

The levee broke way down in Plaquemine

The levee broke down in a Montegut

Seems like the whole damn world is sinking

I must be sinking too

Somebody call out a warning

Somebody come to my rescue

Looks like I'm gonna have to start swimming

If I want to make it back to you

John Breaux said it

Time and time and again

If we don't stop this Coastal Erosion

We're all gonna fall right in

I see it happening

Each and every day

It's just like ole Randy Newman said

We all gonna wash away

The levee broke way down in Plaquemine

The levee broke down in a Montegut

Seems like the whole damn world is sinking

I must be sinking too

Somebody call out a warning

Somebody come to my rescue

Looks like I'm gonna have to start swimming

If I want to get back to you

My old papa said it

Sometimes you just gotta take what you can get

But if you love something and you want to keep it

Better treat it with respect

Seven generations

Stuck here in the mud

But the only way that I'll be leaving Louisiana

Is if I'm swept away in a flood

The levee broke way down in Plaquemine

The levee broke down in a Montegut

Seems like the whole damn world is sinking

I must be sinking too

Somebody call out a warning

Somebody come to my rescue

Looks like I'm gonna have to start swimming

If I want to make it back to you

The levee broke way down in Plaquemine

The levee broke down in a Montegut

The levee broke

Way over to the 9th ward

The levee broke

Way down in St. Bernard

The levee broke

Way over in Gentilly

The levee broke

Way down in Arabi

The levee broke

Down in Pointe à la Hache

The levee broke

Way down in Belle chasse

The levee broke

The levee broke

The levee broke

Way down in New Orleans

The levee broke

The levee broke

The levee broke

The levee broke

The levee broke

The levee broke

The levee broke
