Oh Mardi Gras morning
That's when I flex
Shoo fly don't bother me
I point my shotgun
Right at king rex
Shoo fly don't bother me
I told the tractor driver
Boy let me pass
Shoo fly don't bother me
Cause it's going to be trouble
If you press that gas
Shoo fly don't bother me
They running out the way
Move the barricade
Shoo fly don't bother me
These too pretty they
Might leave the parade
Shoo fly don't bother me
We pray that morning then
We walking them streets
Shoo fly don't bother me
Got a feather in your head
That morning we meet
Shoo fly don't bother me
They had two flag boys
Trying to block the road
Shoo fly don't bother me
They didn't hold me too long
They could tell I sewed
Shoo fly don't bother me
I done walked from the
River ain't broke a sweat
Shoo fly don't bother me
And ain't cut no slack
To nobody I met
Shoo fly don't bother me
I made them injuns'
Turn around on Carondolet
Shoo fly don't bother me
I made them injuns'
Turn around on Carondolet
Shoo fly don't bother me
On Magnolia street I'm a
Yell my name
Shoo fly don't bother me
I told a injun' I look
Way better but
Our colors the same
Shoo fly don't bother me
I done beaded my cuffs
I done beaded my shoes
Shoo fly don't bother me
I'm a be pretty that
Morning on Tchoupitoulas
Shoo fly don't bother me
I told the chief that morning
Let's take our time
Shoo fly don't bother me
The whole hood walking with
Us like a second line
Shoo fly don't bother me
But when i got to third street
I let the big chief know
Shoo fly don't bother me
I'm bout' to run and make a
Scene like Geronimo
Shoo fly don't bother me
I them injuns' how they stones
Look cheap mine
Looking designer
Shoo fly don't bother me
Whoa whoa kemosabe'
I'm a real big tymer'
Shoo fly don't bother me
First injun' I ever met
Had a big shotgun
Shoo fly don't bother me
Spy boy crept up on him
He was dead and done
Shoo fly don't bother me
I said shoo
Don't you bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me
I said shoo fly
Don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me
