(Dolly) – Before it all moves on
and only I'm left,

before the parade passes by,
I've gotta get instep while there's still time left.

I'm ready to move out in front;
life without life has no reason or rhyme left.

With the rest of them,
with the best of them,
I wanna hold my head up high!

I need a goal again,
I need a drive again,

I wanna feel my heart coming alive again
before the parade passes by.

Before the parade passes by,
I've gotta go and taste Saturday's high life.

Before the parade passes by,
I've gotta get some life back into my life.

I'm ready to move out in front;
I've had enough of just passing by life.

With the rest of them,
with the best of them,
I can hold my head up high!

For I've got a goal again,
I've got a drive again,

I'm gonna feel my heart coming alive again
before the parade passes by.

When the parade passes by,
listen and hear that brass harmony growing.

When the parade passes by,
pardon me if my old spirit is showing.

All of the lights over there
seem to be telling me where I'm going.

When the whistles blow,
and the cymbals crash,
and the sparklers light the sky,

I'm gonna raise the roof,
I'm gonna carry on,

give me an old trombone,
give me an old baton,
before the parade…

(Chorus) – When the parade passes by,
listen and hear that brass harmony growing.

When the parade passes by,
pardon me if my old spirit is showing.

All of those lights over there
seem to be telling me where I'm going.

When the whistles blow,
and the cymbals crash,
and the sparklers light the sky,

I'm gonna raise the roof,
I'm gonna carry on,

give me an old trombone,
give me an old baton,
before the parade passes by.

I'm gonna raise the roof,
I'm gonna carry on,

give me an old trombone,
give me an old baton,
before the parade passes by.
