Paul Simon — Take Me to the Mardi Gras

C'mon take me to the Mardi Gras [Verse 1] Where the people sing and play Where the dancing is elite And there's music in the street Both night and day Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras [Verse 2] In the city of my dreams You can legalize your lows You can wear your summer clothes In the New Orleans And I will lay my burden down Rest my head upon that shore And when I wear that starry crown I won't be wanting anymore Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras [Verse 3] Let the music wash your soul You can mingle in the street You can jingle to the beat Of Jelly Roll
