Second Line On Monday

The sadness on the streets
The best bartender in the land
All you need is makeup
Come-on
Strike up the band

Second line's in order
They'll be dancing all the way
When the preacher cuts loose the body
And the band begins to play

Um-ber-ellas swinging
High-up in the air
The crowd is getting heavy
And there'll be dancing everywhere
Folks of all descriptions
They'll be getting into the act
There's a second line on Monday
And thats a natural fact!

You must have been a VIP
For the second line is wild
From CBD to Bourbon St
From Cable and Ursaline
You can join on any corner
Enjoy it as it pass
There's a second line on Monday
And boy, that crowd is fast

Over in the glory land
He's gone, to meet the holy man.
Oh, over in the glory land
Over in the glory land
He's gone to meet the holy man
Over in the glory land

The sadness on the streets
The best bartender in the land
All you need is makeup
Come-on
Strike up the band

Second line's in order
They'll be dancing all the way
When the preacher cuts loose the body
And the band begins to play
