lyrics

Well I bought myself a ticket
On the southern line
Yes I bought myself a ticket
Really going this time

Gotta shake off these blues
I caught from St. Valentine
So I’m going down to Mardi Gras
Everything’ll be just fine

Well I wonder if you’ll miss me
When I’m gone
But I’m getting tired
Writing love songs

‘Cause I can see you’ve still got your fingers
In your ears
I’ve had the Valentine blues
Just about all year

So I’m going down to Mardi Gras
Going to Mardi Gras
On the southern line
Yeah I’m going down to Mardi Gras
Going to Mardi Gras
Everything’ll be just fine

Ol’ Bacchus is a-whispering
In my ear
And Mr. Zulu
Is shaking that spear

And Endymion says he’s got a good joke
For me to hear
Gotta shake off these blues
I need a Dixie beer

So I’m going down to Mardi Gras
Going to Mardi Gras
On the southern line
Yeah I’m going down to Mardi Gras
Going to Mardi Gras
Everything’ll be just fine
