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.

Hup,two,three,four,marching down the street

Rolling of the drums and the trampin' of the feet

General salutes and mothers wave and weep

Here comes the big parade

Don't be afraid

Price is paid

One more parade

So young, so strong, so ready for the war

So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore

All march together everybody looks the same

So there's no one you can blame

Don't be ashamed

Light the flame

One more parade

Listen for the sound and listen for the noise

Listen for the thunder of the marching boys

A few years ago their guns were only toys

Here comes the big parade

Don't be afraid

Price is paid

One more parade

So young, so strong, so ready for the war

So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore

All march together, everybody looks the same

So there's no one you can blame

Don't be ashamed, light the flame

One more parade

Medals on their coats and guns in their hands

Trained to kill as they're trained to stand

10,000 ears need only one command

Here comes the big parade

Don't be afraid

Price is paid

One more parade

So young, so strong, so ready for the war

So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore

All march together, everybody looks the same

So there's no one you can blame

Don't be ashamed

Light the flame

One more parade

Cold hard stares on faces so proud

Kisses from the girls and cheers from the crowd

And the widows from the last war cry into their shrouds

Here comes the big parade

Don't be afraid, price is paid

Don't be ashamed, war's a game

World in flames

So start the parade -

One More Parade
