I found out There's nothing better than a Big Parade There's people there of each and every shade And everyone's wearing a smile And I found out There's nothing sweeter than a gig like that I'll ride a horse, and wear a big white hat And I will be wearing a smile Once in a while I think I'd like to get away Leave this crowd, if only for a day Kneel on the hill and watch the big balloons go by And you can be there when I cry I found out There's nothing finer than a holy day We'll act as if it's the only day If only for a while And I found out That I love being in the Big Parade 'Cause every now and then you find some shade And everyone's wearing a smile I tip my hat and smile and wink and wave Have we been here all day? But I found out there's nothing better than the Big Parade There's people there of each and every shade And everyone's wearing a smile And I found out That I love being in the Big Parade Because every now and then you find some shade And everyone's wearing a smile (Won't you smile for me?)
