Children On Parade - Colin Hay

All the girls and boys are gone away

Never really had much to say

They took all their clothes and their shoes

Politely asked to be excused

They’re the children on parade

They have secrets that they share

They’re the children on parade

And nobody knows

Nobody knows

All the broken toys lie on the floor

There’s no more laughter from down the hall

Mirror mirror mirror on the wall

Whatever could have happened to them all

To the children on parade

And all the secrets that they share

They’re the children on parade

And nobody knows

Nobody knows

All across the world, just yesterday

All the girls and boys just went away

They took off all their clothes and their shoes

I’d love to someday hear all the news

About the children on parade

And about all the secrets that they share

They’re the children on parade

And nobody knows

Nobody knows

Nobody knows

Nobody knows
