Second Line Salute

[Intro]
[Verse]
We’re steppin’ off the porch in the Crescent City light  
Umbrellas raised high, beads shimmering bright  
Gumbo on the stove, the band’s ready to play  
Everybody’s dancin’ in the Mardi Gras way  
From Treme to the Quarter, the music’s in the air  
A little zydeco blend with that brassy fanfare  
So gather up your friends, put on your mask and suit  
‘Cause we’re marchin’ to the rhythm in a Second Line Salute!
[Chorus]
Let the horns roll out, and the drums hit strong
Feet stomp in time to that Creole song**  
Wave your handkerchief high, put your troubles on mute
Come join the carnival in our Second Line Salute!
[Drum solo]
[Verse]
We got kings and queens rollin’ on the midnight float  
Ain’t no worries ‘round here, just let the good times coat  
Your soul with spice and spirit, let the rhythm take you home  
Where the fiddles and accordions sing sweet to the bone  
Glitter on our faces, feathers in our hair  
Everybody’s welcome—throw your worries in the air  
Follow that parade, let the trumpets recruit  
Every heart to the party in a Second Line Salute
[Chorus repeat]
Let the horns roll out, and the drums hit strong
Feet stomp in time to that Creole song
Wave your handkerchief high, put your troubles on mute
Come join the carnival in our Second Line Salute!
[Instrumental, Trumpets and Drums]
[Bridge]
Laissez les bons temps rouler, you can hear the people say  
Grab a plate of jambalaya, there’s magic in the fray  
In the swirl of beads and laughter, find a brand-new attitude  
That’s the spirit of the bayou, in this Second Line Salute!
[Short instrumental break – jazzy horns and accordion jam]
[Final Chorus]
Let the horns roll out, and the drums hit strong
Feet stomp in time to that Creole song
Wave your handkerchief high, put your troubles on mute
Come join the carnival in our Second Line Salute
Come join the carnival in our Second Line Salute!
[Outro][Instrumental Flourish]
[Rap][Female Vocals]
Listen up, turn me up, it’s the Queen of the fête  
I’m takin’ over Mardi Gras, you best not forget  
Feathers flashin’, beads blastin’, I’m runnin’ the street  
Got that Creole in my flow, y’all can’t handle the heat  
Drippin’ sauce like a roux, I’m stirrin’ up a storm  
I’m a boss in the bayou, breakin’ hearts since I was born  
Gators on my heels, yeah, that’s swamp couture  
Snappin’ selfies in the Quarter ‘cause my style’s so pure  
Second Line Salute, watch me lead the brigade  
I’m the Big Easy queen, you can’t rain on this parade  
Crowns up in the air, we let the confetti fly  
Let the good times roll—New Orleans come alive!
[Chorus] [Group Vocals]
Let the horns roll out, and the drums hit strong
Feet stomp in time to that Creole song
Wave your handkerchief high, put your troubles on mute
Come join the carnival in our Second Line Salute
Yeah, Come join the carnival in our Second Line Salute!
