Children on Parade
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All the girls and boys have gone away
They never really had much to say
They took off all their clothes and their shoes
Politely asked to be excused
They're the children on parade
They have a secret they can share
They're the children on parade
And nobody knows
And nobody knows
All the broken toys lie on the floor
There's no more laughter from down the hall
Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Whatever could have happened to them all
They're the children on parade
They have a secret that they share
They're the children on parade
And nobody knows
And nobody knows
All across the world just yesterday
All the boys and girls just went away
They left without their clothes or their shoes
I'd love to someday hear all the news
About the children on parade
And all the secrets that they share
Now they're the children on parade
And nobody knows...
