Fat Tuesday

Girls Gone Wild Careful, you may just have a child Drugs and alcohol plague the alleyway Stay away as there is a price to pay Is the meaning of Mardi Gras to go buck wild Let’s look and see if it’s been defiled It started as a custom of using all the fats in the house I wonder if any crumbs were left for a mouse This was custom as it was the last night to eat rich and fatty foods I bet this left people in good moods As it was a ritual to fast and sacrifice a pleasure In hopes of good health and a great treasure Mardi Gras is a celebration of life before the somber holiday where we correct our faults and control any desires In hopes of keeping Satan away with his temptations and fires Green for faith, purple for justice, and gold for power This is no time to turn sour For we all need strength to resist his temptations And carry ourselves peacefully like the United Nations In 1887, wow that was long ago Two French Catholic brothers brought Lent over from a chateau By 1889, women already exposed their breasts To the rest Men in tuxedos and women in lace Masquerade balls, parades, and costumes were common place In the late 20th century, commercialization caused more women to show their tatas arousing the men However it is censored on CNN This encouraged more people to flood the streets While Bourbon Street residents charge for lawn seats This sad state of affairs Is the heart of making millionaires!
