Uh
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 the mambo beat
The Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
Party Gras mambo mambo mambo
Mardi Gras mambo 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 swing
The Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
Party Gras mambo mambo mambo
Mardi Gras mambo down in New Orleans, go
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 the mambo beat
The Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
Party Gras mambo mambo mambo
Mardi Gras mambo down in New Orleans
Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo oh
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 the mambo beat
The Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
Party Gras mambo mambo mambo
Mardi Gras mambo 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 swing
The Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
Party Gras mambo mambo mambo
Mardi Gras mambo down in New Orleans, go
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 the mambo beat
The Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
Party Gras mambo mambo mambo
Mardi Gras mambo down in New Orleans
Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo
