Gonna take you for a ride
And gonna race and gonna fly
And if you hold me I'd be glad
To paint your face tonight
After then, again, and when
Sitting at the street soirée
Festivities, they start to spread
All along this holiday
I'll take you to the other side
Let you see all walks of life
Seeing the friendly eyes
Laughing in the night
Sucking on a sugarcane
Cotton candy, apple flan
We'll fatten up for the Mardi Gras
Yes, you want me back
We're goin' to the Mardi Gras
I wanna take you there
Island holiday
This silly day
This masquerade
Some free form play
One fun parade
It's an easy holiday
Epiphany to Ash Wednesday
To be masking
For the love of life
Baby, if you're mine
Baby, if you don't mind
We can dance
Until the morning light
Everyday's a painted you
Walking down this avenue
I can tell
You're living it all right
Parades all day and night
With you and living life
We have to give it away
Island Mardi Gras
Yes, you want me back
We're goin' to the Mardi Gras
Wanna take you there
Island holiday
This silly day
This masquerade
Some free form play
One fun parade
  
Love, it's gonna be with you
As you said you wanted to
You said you wanted today
Everyday I feel the glow
Baby if you wanna know
I want to give it away
There's a symphony inside me
‘Cause there is a girl who's inviting me
Every day I'm seeing you
Baby and you know it's true
That you're the lover for me
Everyday you're gonna say
After this day masquerade
It's going to be with me
Every day is gonna be
You and me and memory
‘Cause you had it with me
Every day is gonna be
Baby, if you want to be
If you want it with me
