Popular Mardi Gras Throws

"Throw me something, mister!"
"Hey now, hey now..."

St. Charles Avenue, floats rolling by
Krewes on the boulevard, beads in the sky
Purple for justice, green for faith, gold for power
Fat Tuesday midnight to the Ash Wednesday hour

Masks on, feathers high, fleur-de-lis shine
Catch a doubloon, catch a strand, catch a moment in time
Hands up high when the trombone blows
Laissez les bons temps rouler, here we go!

Beads for everyone, beads for anyone
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
Purple, green, and gold, make it loud
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
(Hey now! Hey now! Hey now!)

Bourbon Street balcony, neon and brass
Flambeaux carriers marching past
Rex and the Zulu, the Muses take flight
Every parade is a brand new night

Medallion custom made, logo catching the light
LED blinking on a twenty-six-degree night
Hands up high when the trumpets sing
Laissez les bons temps rouler, we're the real thing!

Beads for everyone, beads for anyone
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
Purple, green, and gold, make it loud
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
(Hey now! Hey now! Hey now!)

From the Gulf to the Great Lakes, coast to coast
Carnival season is the one we love most
King cake on the table, baby in the slice
Throw 'em once, throw 'em twice, throw 'em thrice!
Throw me something! Throw me something!
Throw me something, mister! Hey!

Let the good times roll
Let the brass band go
Let the beads fly low
Let the whole town know
We are, Beadguy Nation
We are, Beadguy Nation

Beads for everyone, beads for anyone
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
Purple, green, and gold, make it loud
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
We are the Beadguy Nation!
We are the Beadguy Nation!
(Hey now! Hey now! Hey now!)

Beadguy Nation rolling on...
Throw me something, mister...
