It gets you
It gets you
It lets you
Forget your cares
From A.M. (That's in the morning)
To P.M. (That's at night)
It's mayhem
Everywhere
I mean it's murder down there!
The rhythm of the Mardi Gras
Will mesmerize your heart
The Carnival will carry you away
In a truck! Ole!
What did I say?
It gets you (Ha, ha, ha)
It gets you
It sets you
In a spin
It flips you
It grips you
Why fight it?
The Carnival will win!
A-win, a-win, a-win!
Don't we love the Carnival?
Yes, we love the Carnival!
And we love the Mardi Gras!
Let's go to the Mardi Gras!
Hoop-di-di-hi-hi-hot-cha-cha!
Didi-gong-didi-my-didi-dong-da-day!
Fall in the Carnival, too!
This dragnet,
Like a magnet,
Will sweep you
Off your feet (Swing it!)
Gigantic,
Romantic,
This frantic
Kooky beat
Your liver starts to quiver
And your eyes go spinning 'round,
Your heart is palpitating
Like a drum
Do-de-bum!
Do-de-bum-dum-dum-bum!
All right there for the Mardi Gras!
It gets you
Oh, it gets you
Oh, it sets you
In a spin
It grips you
It flips you
Oh, you can't fight it,
The Carnival will win!
Zing-goes-a-bong,
Goes-a-bum-dum! Hey!
Oh, we at the Mardi Gras!
Yowzee! Itty-bitty-bum-bum!
Hey! Doing the cha-cha-cha-char...
Doing the char...

Von Drake:
It gets you
It gets you
It lets you
Forget your cares
From A.M.
To P.M.
There's mayhem
Everywhere
I mean it's murder down there!
The rhythm of the Mardi Gras
Will mesmerize your heart
The Carnival will carry you away
Ole! Ole!
What did I say?
It gets you
It gets you
It sets you
In a spin
It flips you
It grips you
Why fight it?
The Carnival will win!
(musical interlude)
I said, I said, I said
This dragnet,
Like a magnet,
Will sweep you
Off your feet
It's gigantic,
Romantic,
This frantic
Crazy beat
Take it away, Jose!
Jose:
Your liver starts to quiver
And your eyes go spinning 'round,
Your heart is palpitating
Like a drum!
Von Drake:
Bum-de-bum-bum-bum!
It gets you
It gets you
It sets you
In a spin
It grips you
It flips you
Why fight it?
The Mardi Gras will win!
("When the Saints Go Marching In" interlude)
Von Drake:
Is this not the Mardi Gras?
Donald:
Yes, this is the Mardi Gras!
Von Drake:
Is this not the Carnival?
Jose:
Si, this is the Carnival!
Von Drake:
Carnival?
Donald and Jose:
Carnival!
Von Drake:
Mardi Gras?
Donald and Jose:
Mardi Gras!
Von Drake:
Whoop-di-di-hi-hi-jo-jo-jo!
(musical interlude)
Jose:
It gets you
Donald:
It gets you
Von Drake:
It lets you
Forget your cares
Jose:
From A.M.
Von Drake:
That's in the morning!
Jose:
To P.M.
Von Drake:
That's at night!
Jose:
There's mayhem
Everywhere
Von Drake:
I mean it's swingin' down there!
The rhythm of the Mardi Gras
Will mesmerize your heart
The Carnival will carry you away
On a stretcher maybe!
Jose:
Ole!
Von Drake:
Ole? What did he say?
Von Drake, Jose and Donald:
It gets you
It gets you
It sets you
In a spin
It flips you
It grips you
Why fight it?
The Carnival will win!
Von Drake: (dialogue) "You know something? It really gets you! Whew!"
