<br />
(Uuh!)<br />
Down in New Orleans<br />
Where the blues was born<br />
It takes a cool cat<br />
To blow a horn<br />
On LaSalle and Rampart Street<br />
The combo's there with a mambo beat<br />
<br />
The Mardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo<br />
Party Gras, pambo, mambo, mambo<br />
Mardi Gras, mambo-ooh<br />
Down in New Orleans<br />
<br />
In Gert Town <br />
Where the cats all meet<br />
There's a Mardi Gras mambo<br />
With a beat<br />
Join the Chief with the Zulu gang<br />
And truck on down <br />
Where the mambo's swing<br />
<br />
The Mardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo<br />
Party Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo<br />
Pardi Gras, mambo-ooh<br />
Down in New Orleans<br />
<br />
Down in New Orleans<br />
Where the blues was born<br />
It takes a cool cat<br />
To blow a horn<br />
On LaSalle and Rampart Street<br />
The combo's there with a mambo beat<br />
<br />
The Mardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo<br />
Party Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo<br />
Party Gras, mambo-ooh<br />
Down in New Orleans<br />
<br />
(chorus)<br />
Mardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo<br />
Party Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo<br />
Pardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo<br />
FADES-<br />
Pardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo.<br />
<br />
