Come to the Mardi Gras

I heard them sing "Come to the Mardi Gras" It was Rio in spring Time for Mardi Gras I saw her there Confetti in her hair Swept along by the throne Wasn't long before we met When we kissed my heart beat faster Faster than the castanet Then we watched the moon Come to the Mardi Gras Like a painted balloon At the Mardi Gras Romance was ours Beneath Brazilian stars Love is there in the air Everywhere that you are Make your sweetest dreams for two Come true, come to the Mardi Gras Rio was dressed for the end of the night With gaiety and laughter Every lover's heart was light The town was on a spree A joyous jubilee I was lonely, just a stranger 'Til they called to me Yes, I heard them sing "Come to the Mardi Gras" It was Rio in spring Time for Mardi Gras I saw her there Confetti in her hair Swept along by the throne Wasn't long before we met When we kissed my heart beat faster Faster than the castanet Then we watched the moon Come to the Mardi Gras Like a painted balloon At the Mardi Gras Romance was ours Beneath Brazilian stars Love is there in the air Everywhere that you are Make your sweetest dreams for two Come true, come to the Mardi Gras
