Come To The Mardi Gras
I heard them sing, "Come to the Mardi Gras"
It was Rio in spring, time for Mardi Gras
I saw her there, confetti in her hair
Swept along by the throne, wasn't long 'til we met
When we kissed
My heart beat faster, faster than a castanet
You can bet
We watched the moon, come to the Mardi Gras
Like a painted balloon at the Mardi Gras
Romance was ours beneath Brazilian stars
Love is there in the air, everywhere that you are
Make your sweetest dreams for two come true
Come to the Mardi Gras
Then something new came to Rio one night
A brand-new kind of music woke 'em up like dynamite
Everybody came to see, and they made, like, jubilee
Jazz was added to the samba, here's how it came to be
In New Orleans, I heard a Dixie band
They were jumping like beans at the Mardi Gras
I paid the bill, and I brought them to Brazil
When they played this parade, they were made in Brazil
Now each swingin' Carioca
Goes for broke in Mocha Ville (one lump, no cream)
That big fat moon (that sassy moon)
Jumps at the Mardi Gras (jumps at the Mardi Gras)
When the riverboat tune hits that oom-pa-pa
(Pam-pam-pam, pam-pam-pam-pam-pam-pa)
It's sweet when there's a Dixie beat
Love is there in the air, everywhere lovers meet
Make your sweetest dreams for two come true
Come to the Mardi Gras
Louisiana comes to Copacabana
At that swingin' party known as Mardi Gras
It was Rio in spring, time for Mardi Gras
I saw her there, confetti in her hair
Swept along by the throne, wasn't long 'til we met
When we kissed
My heart beat faster, faster than a castanet
You can bet
We watched the moon, come to the Mardi Gras
Like a painted balloon at the Mardi Gras
Romance was ours beneath Brazilian stars
Love is there in the air, everywhere that you are
Make your sweetest dreams for two come true
Come to the Mardi Gras
Then something new came to Rio one night
A brand-new kind of music woke 'em up like dynamite
Everybody came to see, and they made, like, jubilee
Jazz was added to the samba, here's how it came to be
In New Orleans, I heard a Dixie band
They were jumping like beans at the Mardi Gras
I paid the bill, and I brought them to Brazil
When they played this parade, they were made in Brazil
Now each swingin' Carioca
Goes for broke in Mocha Ville (one lump, no cream)
That big fat moon (that sassy moon)
Jumps at the Mardi Gras (jumps at the Mardi Gras)
When the riverboat tune hits that oom-pa-pa
(Pam-pam-pam, pam-pam-pam-pam-pam-pa)
It's sweet when there's a Dixie beat
Love is there in the air, everywhere lovers meet
Make your sweetest dreams for two come true
Come to the Mardi Gras
Louisiana comes to Copacabana
At that swingin' party known as Mardi Gras
