The joy that comes with screaming for valueless coins andplastic beads
The excitement of running down St. Charles littered withplastic cups
While strangers from every end of the country
Come in their obvious tourist attire
To profess their love for the Big Easy and even you
To a New Orleanian, this is nothing out of the norm
As we have found a time
Year after year
To make sure the good times keep on rolling
Through ignorance
Through trials of injustice and crime
Through it all
We have found a reason to celebrate
Laissez les bons temps roulez
