Mardi Gras

(album: Woman In Flames - 1984)

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...
