I think you're looking for New Orleans Ladies by '70s pop-rock band LeRoux (also known as Louisiana's LeRoux, and not to be confused with the contemporary electropop duo LaRoux).
The song was one of their biggest hits, alongside Take a Ride on a Riverboat and Nobody Said It Was Easy (Lookin' For The Lights). Lyrics to New Orleans Ladies by LeRoux
New Orleans Ladies A sassy style that will drive you crazy And they hold you like the light Hugs the wick when this candle's burning. Them Creole babies Thin and brown and downright lazy And they roll just like the river A little wave will last forever All the way From Bourbon Street to Esplanade They sashay by... They sashay by... All the way From Bourbon Street to Esplanade They sashay by... They sashay by... New Orleans Ladies A flair for life, love and laugher And they hold you like the night Holds a chill when this cold wind's blowing Them Creole babies They strut and sway from dusk till dawning And they roll like the river A little wave will last forever All the way From Bourbon Street to Esplanade They sashay by... They sashay by... All the way From Bourbon Street to Esplanade They sashay by... They sashay by...
