And the Mississippi moon shines
And over the rooftops
When the stars prickle the skies
And over the rooftops
My baby's love is merciless to me
She learnt the ways of that old voodoo
I hear them makin' love
London is sleepin'
And over the rooftops
London is sleepin'
And the Mississippi moon shines
I hear them makin' love
I hear them makin' love
I hear them makin' love
I hear them makin' love
Back in the days of Marie Laveau
And the Mississippi moon shines
I hear them makin' love
Clare was born in New Orleans
When the stars prickle the skies
I hear them makin' love
I hear them makin' love
I hear them makin' love
I hear them makin' love
She grew up in the bars of Bourbon Street
Wailing like a hussy and laughin' drunkenly
I hear them makin' love
London is sleepin'
When the stars prickle the skies
