Gino Vannelli Lyrics
"Mardi Gras"

I broke the doldrums on 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! [Incomprehensible] of Mardi Gras
A royal [Incomprehensible] smack dab in his prime
One billion blue doubloons and one 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
And me, oh my, I don't know what to do
But love you

Mardi Gras
