You ought to go see the Mardi Gras
You ought to go see the Mardi Gras
Cause if you see the Mardi Gras
Somebody show you what Carnival for
Get your ticket in your hand
You wanna get your ass down to New Orleans
Get your ticket in your hand
You wanna get your ass down to New Orleans
And if you stay right there
Somebody show you the Zulu King
You ought to go see the Mardi Gras
You ought to go see the Mardi Gras
Cause if you see the Mardi Gras
Somebody show you what Carnival for
