about

Mardi Gras is great fun that lasts 2 weeks!! If you're partyin' that whole time, or if you've got kids that are dyin' to go.to.every.single.parade, by the time its done, so are you!! This song is a tribute to the fun but also the anticipation of finally being given the chance to recuperate - Ash Wednesday!

lyrics

GOODBYE TO MARDI GRAS

HAD ME A BALL AT THE MARDI GRAS
MAMBO’D DOWN TO THE FEE NAH NAH
BOUT A MILLION FRIENDS BOOGIED INTO TOWN
WE’RE DRINKIN WINE AND BEER ON THE NEUTRAL GROUND

THE GOOD TIMES ROLLED AT THE MARDI GRAS
FROM KREWE DE VOUS TO KREWE D’ETAT
BACCHUS MUSES ZULU REX
INDIANS IN SUITS, DIGGIN SONGS BY FESS

NOW ITS,
GOODBYE TO MARDI GRAS
KINGS AND QUEENS AND MARCHIN BANDS
GOODBYE TO MARDI GRAS
YA’LL COME BACK IF YOU CAN
GOODBYE TO MARDI GRAS
SINGIN THE BLUES WHEN THE GOOD TIMES END
GOODBYE TO MARDI GRAS
NEXT YEAR WE’LL START ALL OVER AGAIN

FUNKY GOOD TIMES AT THE MARDI GRAS
W/THEM WHERE Y’ATS AND DEM HEY LA BAS!
2 WEEKS OF FUN’S BOUT GOT ME SPENT
C’MON ASH WEDNESDAY - THANK GOD FOR LENT

NOW ITS,
GOODBYE TO MARDI GRAS
KINGS AND QUEENS AND MARCHIN BANDS
GOODBYE TO MARDI GRAS
YA’LL COME BACK IF YOU CAN
GOODBYE TO MARDI GRAS
SINGIN THE BLUES WHEN THE GOOD TIMES END
GOODBYE TO MARDI GRAS
NEXT YEAR WE’LL START ALL OVER AGAIN
NEXT YEAR WE’LL START ALL OVER AGAIN
CANT WAIT TO START ALL OVER AGAIN
