Angela Lansbury - A Parade in Town lyrics

[CORA] Hi! Hey! Wait! Voters! I see flags, I hear bells, There's a parade in town. I see crowds, I hear yells, There's a parade in town! I hear drums in the air, I see clowns in the square, I see marchers marching, Tossing hats at the sky. Did you hear? Did you see? Is a parade in town? Well, they're out of step, the flutes are squeaky, The banners are frayed. Any parade in town without me Must be a second-cla** parade! So!... Ha!... [THE COOKIES] Hapgood has no answers or suggestions, Only a lot of questions. We like questions! What's the use of answers or suggestions? As long as we're told where to go, There isn't a thing we need to know! [CORA] I see flags, I hear bells, There's a parade in town. I see crowds, I hear yells, There's a parade in town! I hear drums in the air, I see clowns in the square, I see marchers marching, Tossing hats at the sky. Did you hear? Did you see? Was a parade in town? Were there drums without me? Was a parade in town? 'Cause I'm dressed at last, at my best, and my banners are high. Tell me, while I was getting ready, Did a parade go by?
