While you go to New Orleans
You ought to go see the Mardi Gras
If you go to New Orleans
You ought to go see the Mardi Gras
When you see the Mardi Gras
Somebody'll tell you what's Carnival for
Get your ticket in your hand
If you wanna go to New Orleans
Get your ticket in your hand
If you wanna go to New Orleans
You know when you get to New Orleans
Somebody'll show you the Zulu King
You will see the Zulu King
Down on St. Claude and Dumaire
You know you will see the Zulu King
Down on St. Claude and Dumaire
And if you stay right there
I'm sure you'll see the Zulu Queen
