1. Come on take me to the Mardi Gras where the people sing and play,

2. Hurry, take me to the Mardi Gras, in the city of my dreams,

3. Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras, let the music wash your soul,

4. Tumba, tumba, tumba Mardi Gras, tumba, tumba, tumba, yeah,

1. where the dancing is elite and there´s music in the streets,

2. you can legalize your laws, you can wear your sommer clothes

3. you can mingle in the streets, you can jingle to the beat

4. na na na na etc

1. both night and day.

2. in New Orleans.

3. of the jelly roll.

4. na na na etc

And I will lay my burden down, rest my head upon that shore,

and when I wear that starry crown, I won´t be wanting anymore.
