TAKE ME TO THE MARDI GRAS
PAUL SIMON
C'mon 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 the New Orleans
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, wuuh
Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras
Let the music wash your soul (Let it wash your soul)
You can mingle in the street
You can jingle to the beat of Jelly Roll, wuh
Toomba, toomba, toomba, Mardi Gras
Toomba, toomba, toomba, deh
Deh ih eh eh deh, deh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh ih eh eh eh
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 the New Orleans
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, wuuh
Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras
Let the music wash your soul (Let it wash your soul)
You can mingle in the street
You can jingle to the beat of Jelly Roll, wuh
Toomba, toomba, toomba, Mardi Gras
Toomba, toomba, toomba, deh
Deh ih eh eh deh, deh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh ih eh eh eh
