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-rockin'
From-a 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
And everybody's drinkin' wine
