Happy Mardi Gras

******************

It’s that time again for the biggest party on Earth
Dancing in the streets in your lacy bustier and short frilly skirt
Jazz music, doing the mambo, and eating gumbo
Everyone who loves a big party wants to go

Beads hanging around your neck down to your knees
Catch those coconuts, trinkets and big golden keys
Cause this is the time to be in the limelight sister
Calling to the Mardi Gras on the floats throw me something mister.

The gang from the Land of Sha Bebe want to wish you all
The best of this most magical season of carnival balls
Eat, drink and be merry until your heart is content
Today is given to us, so get dressed up to make this day well spent


Plume makes a motion that she wants a boa of colorful feathers
Poulette yells along side of her to throw her something made out of leather
Betty Lou and the sixteen Sugar Mill Ladies want Mardi Gras beads to fill a room
While the boy and girl dolls dance in the streets making noise with their drum

Faustina and Marie are having a good time dancing to all that jazz and stuff
Decides to join in the second line waving their hankies and a big powder puff
Looking up on the float who do they see, as far as they could tell
Yes, it’s Bagasse Man 
Throwing beads, cause on this day no one can breathe in his stinky smell

  
Bagasse Man yells out to all

Happy Mardi Gras
