Let the Good Times Roll

Listen, can you hear zydeco playing?
Enjoy the jiving music
This Mardi Gras season!

Trumpets blaring
Harmonicas singing
Every day and every hour

Good times are here
On these festive days
Over on Bourbon street
Doubloons scattered everywhere

Throw me something cool, Mister
Is yelled out during parades
Mardi Gras offers many delights
Every once in a while, catch glass beads
Spears, stuffed animals and more

Really, the party never stops
Only thing to say is:
Laissez les bon temps rouler -
Let the good times roll!!
