the big bass drum led the big parade

all on a mardi gras day

and all we're gonna say all night and day

all on a mardi gras day

from chapitulla south to magnolia street

all on a mardi gras day

i the injuns and. all on a mardi gras day

and all that you could hear was the people saying

oh bah lea

black eagles band plays. fee-nah-nay

all on a mardi gras day

and all that you could hear was the people saying

oh bah lea
