Lyrics

Going to New Orleans (My Carnival)

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm going to New Orleans

Gonna see the Mardi Gras

Yes, I'm going to New Orleans

Gonna see the Mardi Gras

When I get there

All the girls gonna know who they are

[Verse 2]

When I get to New Orleans

Gonna do my thing

Yes, I get to New Orleans

Gonna do my thing

Cause when I get there

I'm gonna see the Zulu king

(Woo!)

[Whistling interlude]

[Verse 3]

Well, I'm going to New Orleans

Gonna see the Mardi Gras

Yes, I'm going to New Orleans

Gonna see the Mardi Gras

When all the girls get there

They gonna know who they are

[Whistling outro]
