I CAUGHT SOME BEADS FROM STEVEN SEAGAL
I went to a party; there were music and
plenty of people to meet.
There was food and there was drink, the
party was out in the street.
There was dancing, booty bumping, and
some stepping like at a grand ball.
I did some jumping and yelling, and I
caught some beads from Steven Seagal.
I went to a party that the world was
invited to that can get kinda raw.
The party is by word of mouth, everyone
knows about this party called Mardi Gras.
You can come with a group or come
alone, just make sure you get there, that's all.
I came with someone to kiss and hold
and I caught some beads from Steven Seagal.
There was royalty passing on majestic
floats.
They even stopped and the king made a
toast.
To see the king I had to stand tall.
And I caught some beads from Steven Seagal.
The music that kept passing by really
was grand.
There was music from here and there all
across the land.
As the debutantes were passing twirling
their batons, I was hoping it would stall.
But it kept on moving, and I caught
some beads from Steven Seagal.
There is people cooking food all around
that is anything but tame.
This food would make tailgating look
really lame.
You can find Mardi Gras on a street off
to the side or even by a mall.
With a beer in one hand and my girl in
the other, I caught some beads from Steven Seagal.
Barnum and Baily's has nothing on a
show like this.
Pretty girls everywhere and some you
can hug and some you can kiss.
I ran alongside the float trying my
best not to fall.
I jumped up with my arms high and caught
some beads from Steven Seagal.
There are movie villains and comic book
heroes in the floats and on the ground.
There are legends of sport and clowns
that smile and clowns that frown.
I saw a pirate ship looking for booty
and a fishing boat that trawls.
I saw a movie star in a cowboy hat and
that's not all, I caught some beads from Steven Seagal.
The music had passed and the floats
were all gone as all good things come to an end.
The parade was over but on another day
there'll be another parade to go to again.
It's been a long day and I'm going home
even if I have to crawl.
If I don't keep anything else, I'm
holding on to the beads I caught from Steven Seagal.
