And So It Begins

(To the tune of “I’m Super” from the South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut Soundtrack)

Verse 1

Streets are closing,

Drunks are dozing,

Porters are hosing down the sidewalks and the loos.

Phi Mus are flashing,

Floats are crashing,

Merchants are cashing in on schlock–now wouldn’t youse?

Chorus

It’s a party–

A Mardi Party!

Our neighbors packed and headed out the door!

Five more nights,

And four more days–

Then things will be just like they were before.

Verse 2

Maskers are throwing,

Tow trucks are towing,

Guys are blowing guys right out there on the street!

Beads are flying,

Drug fiends are buying,

And their pals are trying to get back on their feet.

Final Chorus

It’s a party–

A Mardi Party!

Even the squarest nerd can be a whore!

Five more nights,

And four more days–

Then things will be just like they were before

This awful glut

Of messy queens

And billy-bobs!

Big Splashy Finish

Ooh!

It’s a party–

A Mardi Party!

The Marys down their crank and GHB!

Five more nights,

And four more days–

Then they’ll all be back en route to old DC–back to DC!
