Lyrics
The green room is smokin'
And the plaza's burnin' down
Throw my baby out the window
And let the joint burn down
All because it's carnival ti-i-ime
Whoa, it's carnival time
Oh, well, it's carnival time
And everybody's havin' fun
Claiborne street is a rocking
From one side to the other
The joints are jammin', packin'
And I'm about to smother
All because it's carnival ti-i-ime
Whoa, it's carnival time
Oh, well, it's carnival time
And everybody's havin' fun
Right now, it's carnival ti-i-ime
Whoa, carnival time
Oh, well, it's carnival time
And everybody's havin' fun
Well, if you put your nickel
Well now, I'll put a dime down
We can get together now
And drink us some wine
All because it's carnival ti-i-ime
Whoa, it's carnival time
Oh, well, it's carnival time
Everybody's drinking wine
