Mardi Gras Lyrics - A Pauper In Paradise - Gino Vannelli

I broke the doldrums of my dreary dreams 

The london bridge kept fallin' down 

I blew my coop and flew to new orleans 

To feast my heart on higher ground 

I wanna thank you for the love you bring 

Louisiana is a song I sing 

Me oh my I don't know what to do 

But love you 

Voila! the marshal frand of mardi gras 

A royal rascal smack dab in his prime 

One billon blue doubloons and a single straw 

In a royal flask of cajun wine 

I wanna thank you for the love we made 

Louisiana is a sweet parade 

Me oh my I don't know what to do 

But love you 

I wanna thank you for the love you shine 

Louisiana is a love of mine 

Me oh my I don't know what to do 

But love you 

Oh mardi gras!
