Join the Parade - Marc Cohn

Out in the late November chill

Crowded behind blue barricades

Peering out over every window sill

Lucky children snap their window shades

The streamers flying through the air

Falling all around the marching band

The country singer smiles and waves her hand

And I’m with you baby

And the voice in the public address says…

Please come and join the parade (the parade)

I know I’m finally home and dry

Please come and join the parade

Don’t let it pass you by (oh)

Fat lady smiling as she roles by

The big red smile and a sloppy kiss

Furry friends slow follow (follow)

Black mascara creatures, yes

Your baby’s screaming in your ear

The black hair and a red nose face

She’s running backwards off the fire escape

But I’m with you baby

And the voice in the public address says…

Please come and join the parade (the parade)

I know I’m finally home and dry

Please come and join the parade

Don’t let it pass you by

Don’t let it pass you by (by)

Yeah, please come and join the parade (the parade)

I know I’m finally home and dry

Please come and join the parade (the parade)

Don’t let it pass you by

Please, join the parade (the parade)

I know I’m home

Please come and join the parade (the parade)

Don’t let it pass you by
