Queen of the Mardi Gras lyrics

She was the Queen of the Mardi Gras

Every guy in town had dreamed about

She made me feel like a movie star

When she said "Yes" the day I asked her out

I was the lucky one, I thought I'd walk her home

But how could I have known?

She said: "I'll see you tonight at the Mardi Gras"

"I'll meet you by the carousel at eight"

She said: "I'll be there tonight at the Mardi Gras"

I waited there 'til it was getting late

I heard the sound of the big parade

And coloured paper streamers filled the air

Searching the crowd as the music played

I only prayed that she would still be there

Was ist just a lie? Was ist just a lie?

Was she fooling all the time?

She said: "I'll see you tonight at the Mardi Gras"

"I'll meet you at the carousel at eight"

She said: "I'll be there tonight at the Mardi Gras"

I waited there 'til it was getting late

Midnight – and the moon was high

I saw her – with another guy

They laughed – as they went dancing by

And they danced through the night of the Mardi Gras

I know what they meant now when she said

She said: "I'll see you tonight at the Mardi Gras"

But she was there with my best friend instead

On the night of the Mardi Gras
