Mardi Gras Song

I’ll be your king, you be my queen
we’ll tear up the streets of New Orleans
down at Tipitinas and the House of Blues
then over at the Maple Leaf for Rebirth after two

We got Earl King on the guitar
George Porter on electric bass
Ed Volker on keys and organ
People just movin bout the place

If you can’t move to this groove
head back to your hotel
If you can’t get down, funky and loose
there’s nothing more to tell

Something about this town make you move
something about this town so true
the gumbo, the red beans and shrimp Creole
that warm you body and your soul
