The best Carnival song of all time is Carnival Time by Al Johnson. Give it a listen, and read the lyrics.(Hat tip to Mardi Gras Digest, via NOLA-dishu.)
The Green room is smoking,
and the Plaza burning down
Throw my baby out the window,
let those joints burn down
All because it's Carnival Time,
oooooohhh, it's Carnival Time....!
Oh Well it's Carnival Time, and
everybody's having Fun!
Claiborne Street is rocking
from one side to the other
The joints are jamin, packing,
and I'm bout to smother
All because it's Carnival Time,
oooooohhh, it's Carnival Time....!
Oh Well it's Carnival Time and,
everybody's having Fun
Right Now, it's Carnival Time,
oooooohhh, Carnival Time....!
Oh Well it's Carnival Time and,
everybody's having Fun
Well if you put a nickel, well now,
I put a dime now
we can get together now and drink us some wine
All because it's Carnival Time,
oooooohhh, Carnival Time..!
Oh Well it's Carnival Time and,
everybody's drinking wine.
