Mardi Gras Day - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

The big bass drum led the big parade

All on a Mardi Gras Day

The trombone was playing the tailgate song

All on a Mardi Gras Day

The bugler came down playing a bugle call

All on a Mardi Gras Day

And all that you could hear the people say

was, Oh Bah Lea

Everybody now comes

All on a Mardi Gras Day

are doing the second line

All on a Mardi Gras Day

All on a Mardi Gras Day

And all we’re gonna say all night and day

is, Oh Bah Lea

The world danced down to St. Andrews Street

All on a Mardi Gras Day

From Chapitulla south to Magnolia Street

All on a Mardi Gras Day

I (espied/spied) the Injuns and

All on a Mardi Gras Day

And all that you could hear was the people saying

Oh Bah Lea

Black Eagles band plays Fee-Nah-Nay

All on a Mardi Gras Day

And all that you could hear was the people saying

Oh Bah Lea
