Lyrics
Mardi Gras Beat
Verse I
From the east coast. to the west coast, There is only one place in between
Where every day you're gonna hear music ..
That is only played down in New Orleans..
A po' boy sandwich..some spicy crawfish
You start dancin' to some Cajun jive
Forget your troubles .. then you're smiling,, time to celebrate just being alive
(Chorus) Suddenly your body starts to tingle. then you feel the heat
when the brass band starts a blowin'.. and playin that Mardi Gras Beat.....
Vers II
No the floods can't .. drown their spirits, and the mud won't cover their soul
They sing with their voices higher .. Until the Zulu king brings back the gold.
Wild Tchoupitoulas. and the Big chief
They are gonna kick some ass
Lead us home,, from the river,.. with sweet music from the second line brass.
(Chorus) Suddenly your body starts to tingle. then you feel the heat
when the brass band starts a blowin'.. and playin that Mardi Gras Beat...
(Jam)
Lead us home (2,3) .. from the river (2,3). (1)playin that Mardis Gras Beat..
Lead us home (2,3) .. from the river (2,3). (1)playin that Mardis Gras Beat..
