Party Gras - The Mardi Gras Song

E                      A
Who dat goin' to the Mardi Gras?
                                 D
It's like nothin' that you ever saw
                       E
It's just this big-ass party, y'all
                   A
A honky-tonkin' Halloween

So bring a fiddle and an old guitar
                   A  E  D
A little Louisiana ca-vi-ar
                        A
And somethin' for the mason jar
E                A
And head to New Orleans


[Verse 1]
A                             E
You know you best be gettin' out of the way
                      A
When the sailors say "Laissez les bon temp rouler"
                         E
Means there's gonna be a big parade
                 A
Up and down the street
A                           E
They'll be cookin' up that étouffée
               A
Jambalaya and sweet beignets
                           E
Ça c'est bon's the way the Cajun's say
         A
Oh, bon appetit


[Chorus]
N.C.                  A
Who dat goin' to the Mardi Gras?
                           D
It's like nothin' that you ever saw
                       E
It's just this big-ass party, y'all
                   A
A honky-tonkin' Halloween
A
So bring a fiddle and an old guitar
                   A   E  D
A little Louisiana ca-vi-ar
                      A
And somеthin' for the mason jar
E                 A
And head to New Orlеans

A E  A


[Verse 2]
                  E
In the bayou with Marie Laveau
                  A
Little voodoo and Zydeco
                           E
Makes you jump and holler "hi-de-ho"
               A
Oh, you know I guar-on-tee
                        E
From the Quarter to the Pontchartrain
                       A
Things are gonna get a bit insane
                           E
Since they've never made a pair the same
                       A
Best to bring a lot of beads


[Chorus]
N.C.                  A
Who dat goin' to the Mardi Gras?
                           D
It's like nothin' that you ever saw
                       E
It's just this big-ass party, y'all
                    A
A honky-tonkin' Halloween

So bring a fiddle and an old guitar
                   A  E  D
A little Louisiana ca-vi-ar
                      A
And somethin' for the mason jar
E                    A
And head to New Orleans


[Bridge]
   B
Veterans, beginners, losers, and winners
   E
Callin' all sinners and saints
   B
Jump in the gumbo, you can have fun
   C                        E7
No matter what you are you ain't


[Chorus]
                A
Get down to the Mardi Gras
                           D
It's like nothin' that you ever saw
                       E
It's just this big-ass party, y'all
                    A
A honky-tonkin' Halloween

So bring a fiddle and an old guitar
                   A  E  D
A little Louisiana ca-vi-ar
                      A
And somethin' for the mason jar
E                    A
And head to New Orleans


[Outro]
E               A
Well, dig up a couple mason jars
E
And head to New Orleans
