I wanna fall in love
with a Mardi Gras queen...
Show her a side of New Orleans
that she’s never seen...

Take her to the dark side
of the Marigny...
Show her my real world
without the bourgeoisie...

Take a streetcar ride
up the Avenue...
Take a horse and buggy ride
in the Quarters, too...

I wanna fall in love
with a Mardi Gras queen...
Introduce her to Veuve Clicquot
And my French cuisine...

Have a late night talk
on the Riverwalk...
Make a late night stop
at Jean Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop...

Take a late night stroll
over to Pirates Alley...
Take in a burlesque show
Introduce her to my Sally...

I wanna fall in love
with a Mardi Gras queen...
Show her a whole new world
at the couple’s scene...

Rub my anxious fingers
through her long curly hair...
While slowly kissing her neck
near Jackson Square...

Take her home at night
and make her feel just right...
And then I’ll rub her feet
Until she falls fast asleep...

I wanna fall in love
with a Mardi Gras queen...
Her daddy won’t be happy
If you know what I mean...
