Lyrics
V1 Marching bands and parades are such fun.
But make sure you're ready when they come.
Flags, balloons, and twirling batons fill the air
I'm gonna help so you'll be prepared
Chorus Finding a good spot is really the key
Then you'll see how great parades can be.
V2 The best place is right in the front row.
People stand elbow to elbow.
It's where you hear excitement and cheers from the crowd.
Shiny big horns and the drums are real loud.
Chorus Finding a good spot is really the key
Then you'll see how great parades can be.
V3 If you can't make it to the front row,
Sit on shoulders or at a window
Watch the drum major pump time to lead the whole band.
Flutes, trombones, trumpets, will follow commands.
Chorus Finding a good spot is really the key
Then you'll see how great parades can be.
