|
C'mon take me to the Mardi Gras |
|
Where the people sing and play |
|
Where the dancing is elite |
|
And there's music in the street |
|
Both night and day |
|
Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras |
|
In the city of my dreams |
|
You can legalize your lows |
|
You can wear your summer clothes |
|
In the New Orleans |
|
And I will lay my burden down |
|
Rest my head upon that shore |
|
And when I wear that starry crown |
|
I won't be wanting anymore |
|
Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras |
|
Let the music wash your soul |
|
You can mingle in the street |
|
You can jingle to the beat of the jelly roll |
|
Tumba, tumba, tumba, Mardi Gras |
|
Tumba, tumba, tumba, day |
|
