Lyrics:

Down in New Orleans, where the blues was born
It takes a cool cat to blow a horn
On Lasalle and Rampart Street
The combo's play with a mambo beat
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo
Down in New Orleans
In Gert Town where the cats all meet
There's a Mardi Gras mambo with a beat
They shout and cheer for the Zulu King
Truck on down where the mambo swing
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo
Down in New Orleans

Down in New Orleans where the blues was born
It takes a cool cat to blow a horn
On Lasalle and Rampart Street
Combo's playin' with a mambo beat
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo
Down in New Orleans
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras
