Children On Parade - Men At Work

All the girls and boys have gone away

They never really had much to say

They took off all their clothes and their shoes

Politely asked to be excused

Theyre the children on parade

They have a secret they can share

Theyre the children on parade

And nobody knows

And nobody knows

All the broken toys lie on the floor

Theres no more laughter from down the hall

Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall

Whatever could have happened to them all

Theyre the children on parade

They have a secret that they share

Theyre the children on parade

And nobody knows

And nobody knows

All across the world just yesterday

All the boys and girls just went away

They left without their clothes or their shoes

Id love to someday hear all the news

About the children on parade

And all the secrets that they share

Now theyre the children on parade

And nobody knows…
