Marc Cohn — Join the Parade

[Verse 1] 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 am with you baby And the voice in the public address says: [Chorus] "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) [Verse 2] Fat lady smiling as she roles by The big red smile and a sloppy kiss Furry friends slowly follow (Follow) Black mascara creatures hiss Your baby’s screaming in your ear The black hair and a red nose face She’s running backwards up the fire escape But I am with you baby And the voice in the public address says: [Chorus] "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) [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] 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
