Here comes the big brass band Hear them blow as they go to the Mardi Gras See the leader wavin' to ya Happy days, Hallelujah Lucky to be standing where you are They play that dixieland Hear the toot on the flute and an oom-pa-pa Dressed in red, dressed in blue They go marching marching marching To the Mardi Gras Oh, what a thrill, what a thrill When they kick that Dixie rhythm around Oh, the notes that float up on the air When they push that little bow down See the small-fry standin' there Starin' God alive Oh, when that slide trombone Begins to slide Oh, what a day, what a day When they play that crazy ??? blues With the beat that got the population A-walkin' outa their shoes Oh, with a roll of a drum And a dum-diddle-dum Everybody knows what that means Why, they'll be dancin' In the streets of New Orleans Oh, they play that dixieland Hear the toot on the flute and an oom-pa-pa Dressed in red, dressed in blue They go marching marching marching To the Mardi Gras Hey !
