Down in New Orleans
Where the blues was born
It takes a cool cat
To blow a horn
On Lasalie and Pampart Street
The combo plays with the mambo beat
Chorus:
Mardi gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi gras mambo down in New Orleans
In a grey town where the cats all meet
They mardi gras mambo, with the beat
Jolly c***f was the Zulu king
And truck on down to the mambo swing
Where the blues was born
It takes a cool cat
To blow a horn
On Lasalie and Pampart Street
The combo plays with the mambo beat
Chorus:
Mardi gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi gras mambo down in New Orleans
In a grey town where the cats all meet
They mardi gras mambo, with the beat
Jolly c***f was the Zulu king
And truck on down to the mambo swing
