The green room is smoking
And the plaza's burning down
Throw my baby out the window
Let that joint burn down
All because it's carnival time
Whoa, it's carnival time
And when it's carnival time
And everybody's having fun
The all speed is rocking
From one side to the other
The joints are jamming, packing
And I'm about to smother
All because it's carnival time
Whoa, it's carnival time
Oh, when it's carnival time
And everybody's having fun
Well, if you put a nickel
And I put a dime now
And we can get together now
And drink us some wine
All because it's carnival time
Whoa, it's carnival time
Oh, when it's carnival time
And everybody's drinking wine
Now, it's carnival time
Whoa, it's carnival time
And when it's carnival time
And everybody's having fun
