Simpson's Song about New Orleans

In the episode A Streetcar Named Marge, there is not overly complimentry song about New Orleans. The medley from the musical Oh, Streetcar! can be found in the cd Songs in the Key of Springfield which can be downloaded from Miniova in bittorrent, or even bought. The episode description was lifted from The Simpson Archive.

. Long before the Superdome,
. Where the Saints of football play,
. There's a city where the damned call home,
. Hear their hellish rondelet:
.
. New Orleans!
. Home of pirates, drunks, and whores...
. New Orleans!
. Tacky, overpriced souvenir stores...
.
. If you want to go to hell, you should take a trip
. To the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip':
.
. New Orleans!
. Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile...
. New Orleans!
. Putrid, brackish, maggotty, foul...
.
. New Orleans!
. Crummy, lousy, rancid and rank...
. New Orleans!
. ...
