Sittin' on a sack of beans
Sittin' down in New Orleans
You wouldn't believe what I've seen
Sitting on that sack of beans

Lunatics on pogo sticks
Another southern fried freak on a crucifix
Hicks don't mix with politics
People on the street just kickin' to the licks

[chorus 1]
Yes my favorite place to be
Is not a land called Honah Lee
Mentally or physically
I wanna be in New Orleans

Oh good brother just when I thought
That I had seen it all
My eyes popped out, my dick got hard
And I dropped my jaw

I saw a bird walkin down the block
Name Apache Rose Peacock
I could not speak I was in shock
I told my knees to please not knock

(repeat chorus 1)

A little boy came along
Name of Louis Armstrong
Said that girl who left me silly
She liked the looks of me and my willy

So I found her in the quarter
Good God how I adored her
Oh she made me feel so cozy
When she told me I could call her Rosey

[chorus 2]
I kiss your hair your skin so bare
I'll take you with me girl anywhere
You fare well in stormy weather
I never met a girl that I liked better

Twinkle twinkle little star
Shining down on my blue car
Drivin' down the boulevard
She was soft and I was hard

Apache Rose gotta rockin' peacock
Hottest ass on the goddamn block
Rockin' to the beat of the funky ass meters
She has one of those built in heaters

(repeat chorus 2)

Voodoo gurus casting their spells
Cockatoo drag queens shakin' their bells
Silver sound escapes the trumpet
Watch your leg someone might hump it

Chicken strut your butt let's rock
Gettin' it on under your frock
Flowing like a flame all through the night
My girl's insane but it's all right

(repeat chorus 1)

    Translation:The song is about a sexual encounter with a drag queen and how he enjoyed the experience of making it with a man as opposed to a woman. Read the lyrics ant it will all make sense.

    General Comment:i agree the most with xxvenicequeenxx2
    this song seems to be very much about Jennifer Bruce, but then again it could be about Carmen Hawk as well.
    it makes sense with Jennifer though because she was colorful and the whole bit about 'driving down the boulevard, she was soft and i was hard' makes me think of hollywood, not new orleans. though i could be wrong. it's a song that is perhaps purposefully vague and the word just flow together so perfectly that it doesn't matter.
    incredible song.
    and flea's trumpet in the background is so genius. a perfectly simplistic addition.

    The whole song is funny, but that bit always cracks me up (and the way he says it too)

    General Comment:My fave lines in this song are "Apache Rose got a rockin' peacock, hottest ass on the goddamn block. Rockin' to the beat of the funky ass Meters, she has one of those built in heaters..." This song seems to be about Anthony, a hot girl from New Orleans, and him fucking her basically. That's what I got out of it.

    General Comment:I think that this song might be about anthony's ex girlfriend jennifer bruce. Ive read interviews with him and he always compares her to a bird with her colorful hair and style. I think shes supposed to be apache rose peacock. Otherwise the rest of the song is pretty literal, he loves the spirit of new orleans and the history of music behind it.

    General Comment:how can anthony be such a prolific writer when it comes to sex, and yet not seem like a macho chauvanist??? it's just so confusing, but SO BRILLIANT..... he's one of the most intelligent people we will ever hear of in our lives......the chorus......what a song.........what a band......MAN THEY ROCK!!!
