Lyrics

Tonight I’ll take you to the Mardi Gras
Where we will dance and sing
Tonight we’ll hitch our wagon to a star
And be a queen and king
Tonight I’ll take you to the masquerade
And all that I will ask tonight
Is that I meet you unafraid
When you remove your mask

Chorus
Come along and dance with me
Dance with me
Into my arms to romance with me
As we waltz down the street
Hear my heart miss a beat
Maybe you could fall for me
Fall for me
And be the belle of the ball for me
We could be such a happy pair
Honest I promised my heart we’d be there
So come on and dance with me
Dance with me
Tonight at the mardi gras
