Merry Mardi Gras Parade Song

From Great America Wiki

The Merry Mardi Gras Parade Song was a song played during the Merry Mardi Gras Parade.

Composition

The Merry Mardi Gras Parade Song is a Tom Merriman produced piece and shares the same singers as other park songs such as the Carousel Song. During the song's initial playing during parades, the 'Here comes the very Merry Mardi Gras Parade' portion is omitted. The song loops multiple times over with the lyrics being repeated in slightly different manners and accents. After the song finishes and following a short interlude, a different and brief park song plays before the Merry Mardi Gras Parade Song repeats, this time with the 'Here comes the very Merry Mardi Gras Parade' portion.

Lyrics

<poem> [Here comes the very Merry Mardi Gras Parade!] (omitted on first play)

The parade passes by with its flags waving high. Shout hooray! It's a day like the Fourth of July.

In a marching revue, Great America comes to you! It's the Merry Mardi Gras Parade! </poem>
