Mardi Gras

I love to go to Mardi Gras And see the girls cast off their bra As if it were their sole faux-pas In dancing through their last hurrah I do not know just where they went I can not guess what charms were Lent But I suspect the knight was spent In screwing odds they might repent You're sure to hear old-timers say, "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" But ashes mark the end of play The fun begins on Judgment day!
