MARDI GRAS MAMBO #5


Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mardi Gras Mambo Number Five!

One, two, three, four, five, everybody's on the float,
So come on let's ride.
Down St. Charles and round the corner,
Up Canal where they get loose, but I really just wanna
Hear crowds like I did last week.
I must throw deep, Grandstands ain't cheap.
I like cotton candy, candy apples, senoritas,
And a kingcake, you know there is nothing sweeter.
So throw me something mister, I beg you my boy.
Mardi Gras is full of fun and joy, where anything flies,
It's all free New Orleans, let's hear
Al Hirt's trumpet.

(Refrain)
A little bit of Mardi Gras in my life
A little bit of Carnival oh my my
A little bit of Rex is all I need
A little bit of Toth is what I see
A little bit of Orpheus in the sun
A little bit of Bacchus all night long
A little bit of Endymion here I am
A little bit of Zulu makes me a fan.
Mardi Gras Mambo #5!

Jump up and down and move your hands all around,
Shake your head to the sound,
Stomp your feet on the ground,
Take one step left and one step right,
One to the front and one to the side.
Clap your hands once and clap your hands twice,
And if you see some sites then your doing it right.

(Refrain)

Mardi Gras Mambo #5

(Refrain)

I like long beads, cups, doubloons, and trinkets too,
When you see Pete Fountain walk,
You'll love the City that Care Forgot…
