(Uuh!)

Down in New
Orleans

Where the blues was born

It takes a cool cat

To blow
a horn

On LaSalle and Rampart Street

The combo's there with a mambo
beat



The Mardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo

Party Gras, pambo,
mambo, mambo

Mardi Gras, mambo-ooh

Down in New Orleans



In Gert Town 

Where the cats all meet

There's a Mardi Gras
mambo

With a beat

Join the Chief with the Zulu gang

And truck
on down 

Where the mambo's swing



The Mardi Gras, mambo,
mambo, mambo

Party Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo

Pardi Gras,
mambo-ooh

Down in New Orleans



Down in New Orleans

Where the blues was born

It takes a cool cat

To blow a horn

On LaSalle and Rampart Street

The combo's there with a mambo beat



The Mardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo

Party Gras, mambo, mambo,
mambo

Party Gras, mambo-ooh

Down in New Orleans



(chorus)

Mardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo

Party Gras, mambo,
mambo, mambo

Pardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo

FADES-

Pardi
Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo.
