Gino Vannelli Mardi Gras Lyrics

Mardi Gras Lyrics

I broke the doldrums of my dreary dreams

The London Bridge kept fallin' down

I blew my coop and flew to New Orleans

To feast my heart on higher ground

I wanna thank you for the love you bring

Louisiana is a song I sing

Me oh my I don't know what to do

but love you

Voila! The marshal frand of mardi gras

A royal rascal smack dab in his prime

One billon blue doubloons and a single straw

In a royal flask of cajun wine



I wanna thank you for the love we made

Louisiana is a sweet parade

Me oh my I don't know what to do

But love you

I wanna thank you for the love you shine

Louisiana is a love of mine

Me oh my I don't know what to do

But love you

Oh mardi gras!
