I Love a Parade - Harry Richman

I walk every step o' the mile

And think it was really worthwhile

To see a parade come marching down the line

I don't know a son of a gun

Who wouldn't be willing to run

To see a parade come marching down the line

Perhaps I'm what you'd call a patriot

But one thing's certain whether I am or not

I love a parade

The tramping of feet

I love ever beat

I hear of a drum

I love a parade

When I hear a band

I just wanna stand

And cheer as they come

That rat-a-tat-tat

The flair of a horn

That rat-a-tat-tat

A bright uniform

The sight of a drill

Will give me a thrill

I thrill at the skill

Of anything military

I love a parade

A handful of vets

A line of cadets

Or any brigade

For I love a parade

Look here they come

Oh what a sight

Listen to the crowd

They're cheering hip hip hooray

Oh everybody loves a parade

And look at those teams

Tramp tramp tramp never missing a beat

And here comes the band they'll be here soon

Listen to what they're playing

Sousa's "Stars And Stripes For Ever"

Oh boy that's what I call a tune

And look at that drum major

Watch him with that stick

I'll wager he doesn't miss a trick

The captain is yelling

It's the command

They're going to drill

Here's where I get a thrill

Oh by jove that's it

Excuse me lady

Oh quit shoving

Say who do you think you are

Oh yeah

Thanks

Get out of the way you mug

Hallo Charlie

Hallo Lou

I love a parade

The tramping of feet

I love ever beat

I hear of a drum

I love a parade

When I hear a band

I just wanna stand

And cheer as they come

That rat-a-tat-tat

The flair of a horn

That rat-a-tat-tat

A bright uniform

The sight of a drill

Will give me a thrill

I thrill at the skill

Of anything military

I love a parade

A handful of vets

A line of cadets

Or any brigade

For I love a parade
