Mardi Gras - Champaign

Winter stays, the snow won’t thaw

I don’t think I can’t take anymore

I look for some diversion, I go through a magazine

A page gets my attention, it’s a piece of New Orleans

A photograph of folks in masks and people getting down

It looks like one big party, they’re tearing up the town

I get an inspiration, I give my boss a call

We take a short vacation, I just can’t wait to go

Hey, baby, get in the car

Let’s fly down to Mardi Gras

Hey, baby, go as you are

Pack your bags for the Mardi Gras

We fly in at 3 AM

We disembark and the madness begins

Right there in the airport at the baggage carousel

It could be man or woman, it’s really hard to tell

A wild scene of folks in masks and people getting down

Looks like one big party, they’re tearing up the town

I had an inspiration, I gave my boss a call

And now we’re on vacation, we’re at the Mardi Gras

So, baby

Hey, baby, get in the car

Let’s fly down to Mardi Gras

Hey, baby, go as you are

Pack your bags for the Mardi Gras

Laisses-le bon temps roulez

Laisses-le bon temps roulez

Laisses-le bon temps roulez

Laisses-le bon temps roulez

Hey, baby, get in the car

Let’s fly down to Mardi Gras

Hey, baby, go as you are

Pack your bags for the Mardi Gras

Hey, baby, get in the car

Let’s fly down to Mardi Gras

Hey, baby, go as you are

Roulez, roulez, Mardi Gras, baby…
