Take Me to the Mardi Gras

Hey, hey, come on, take me to the Mardi Gras
Where the people sing and play
Where the dancing is elite
And there's music in the street both night and day
Hurry, take me to the Mardi Gras
In the city of my dreams
You can legalize your lows
You can wear your summer clothes in New Orleans

Ooh, and I will lay my burden down
Rest my head upon that shore
And when I wear that starry crown
I won't be wanting anymore
Hey, hey
Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras (Ooh)
Let the music wash your soul (Let it wash your soul)
You can mingle in the street
You can jingle to the beat of the gelle dos (Ooh)

Toumba, toumba, to the Mardi Gras
Toumba, toumba, toumba day
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
