lyrics
Oh it's carnival time in New Orleans, everybody's throwing up
Gunshots heard about a block away, so we's bound to get wrote up
From the New York Times to the L.A. News, no more reports of Katrina blues
Spread the word, we paid our dues, it's a good place to die again
Yeah it's carnival time in New Orleans, everything smells like shit
Plastic beads and smoked-up weed and a thousand and one armpits
But you're too drunk to tell at all or even notice the man wearing nothing at all
So go drink a beer with him and have a ball, it's a good place to make friends
Yes it's carnival time in New Orleans, everyone forgot how to drive
Colorado wreck in the neutral ground, I wonder how they made it here alive
Now I got a show at half past ten, I might get there at 3AM
And maybe next week I'll get home again, it's a good time to be late
Oh, it's carnival time in New Orleans, everyone's all wound up
That's a nasty bruise you got, I guess you should have let Grandma have that cup
Well you can have my share of the scene, I'll stay home and I'll stay clean
Yes it's carnival time in New Orleans and it's better on TV
Gunshots heard about a block away, so we's bound to get wrote up
From the New York Times to the L.A. News, no more reports of Katrina blues
Spread the word, we paid our dues, it's a good place to die again
Yeah it's carnival time in New Orleans, everything smells like shit
Plastic beads and smoked-up weed and a thousand and one armpits
But you're too drunk to tell at all or even notice the man wearing nothing at all
So go drink a beer with him and have a ball, it's a good place to make friends
Yes it's carnival time in New Orleans, everyone forgot how to drive
Colorado wreck in the neutral ground, I wonder how they made it here alive
Now I got a show at half past ten, I might get there at 3AM
And maybe next week I'll get home again, it's a good time to be late
Oh, it's carnival time in New Orleans, everyone's all wound up
That's a nasty bruise you got, I guess you should have let Grandma have that cup
Well you can have my share of the scene, I'll stay home and I'll stay clean
Yes it's carnival time in New Orleans and it's better on TV
