Let the Good Times Roll
Anacreontic Verse
Let The Good Times Roll
1t's Mardi Gras time
in New Orleans
the French say
laissez les
bons temps rouler
let the good times roll.
they roll in the streets
nights of revelry
Bourbon Street throngs
of people dancing
merriment, laughter
alias Fat Tuesday
parades, drinking
such debauchery
throws of beads
to half naked
women who scream
and shout, Hey Mister
throw me something
rewarded with smiles
A time for fun like
no place else.
City Care Forgot?
only on the day
care does not exist
