This is the official Mardi Gras song (since 1872)

If Ever I Cease To Love

In a house, in a square, in a quadrant
In a street, in a lane, in a road

Turn to the left on the right hand
You see there my true love's abode

I go there a courting and cooing to my love like a dove
And swearing on my bended knee, If Ever I Cease To Love

Chorus:
If Ever I Cease To Love, If Ever I Cease To Love
May the moon be turn'd to green cream cheese
If Ever I Cease To Love

She can sing, she can play on the piano
She can jump, she can dance, she can run

For she's a wonderful girlie, She's all of them rolled into one
I adore her beauty, She's like an angel dropped from above
May the fish get legs and the cows lay eggs
If Ever I Cease To Love

May all dogs wag their tails in front
If Ever I Cease To Love

Second Chorus:
If Ever I Cease To Love, If Ever I Cease To Love
May we all turn into cats and dogs
If Ever I Cease To Love
