She was the Queen of the Mardi Gras
Every guy in town had dreams about
She made me feel like a movie star
When she said “Yes”
The day I asked her out
I was the lucky one
I thought I’d walk her home
But how could I have known
She said “I’ll see you tonight
At the Mardi Gras,
I’ll meet you at the carousel
At eight”
She said “I’ll be there tonight
At the Mardi Gras”
I waited there
‘Til it was getting late
I heard the sound of the big parade
And coloured paper streamers filled the air
Searching the crowd as the music played
I only prayed that she
Would soon be there
Could the answer be
It was just a lie
Was she fooling all the time?
She said “I’ll see you tonight
At the Mardi Gras,
I’ll meet you at the carousel
At eight”
She said “I’ll be there tonight
At the Mardi Gras”
I waited there
‘Til it was getting late
Midnight
And the moon was high
I saw her
With another guy
She laughed
As they went dancing by
And they danced through the night
Of the Mardi Gras
I know what she meant now when she said
She said “I’ll be there tonight
At the Mardi Gras”
But she was there
With my best friend instead
All the night of
The Mardi Gras
