《The Veterans Big Parade》歌词

[00:00:00] The Veterans Big Parade - Dory Previn

[00:00:05] In the veterans big parade

[00:00:07] Marched the businessmen's brigade

[00:00:09] While behind the high school band

[00:00:12] The ladies fife and drum corps played

[00:00:17] In the veterans big parade

[00:00:21] The flag flew high and free

[00:00:26] Down they marched to fourth and main

[00:00:28] Our soldiers died but not in vain

[00:00:31] God was with us that's for sure

[00:00:33] He proved it 'cause it didn't rain

[00:00:38] Balloons batons you wanted to cry

[00:00:43] The best day in July

[00:00:48] At the veterans cemetery

[00:00:50] Then the services were said

[00:00:52] There the mayor's first assistant

[00:00:55] Wiped his glasses put them on and read

[00:01:02] We're gathered here dear friends today

[00:01:06] To show our brave boys where they lay

[00:01:11] We are with them all the way

[00:01:16] And I think it's safe to say

[00:01:21] They are not alone

[00:01:25] They are not alone

[00:01:33] All the widows proudly smiled

[00:01:35] Except for one with an infant child

[00:01:37] Picnic time was then announced

[00:01:39] And all the little kids went wild

[00:01:44] Picnic blankets then were spread

[00:01:49] And the beer flowed fast and free

[00:01:54] There were clams and corn on the cob

[00:01:56] To feed the celebrating mob

[00:01:58] Once in a while I don't know why

[00:02:01] The infant child began to sob

[00:02:06] Other than that is was New Year's Eve

[00:02:10] Till it was time to leave

[00:02:15] Then a fine Hawaiian band

[00:02:17] Played and sang aloha oh

[00:02:20] And their voices drifted low

[00:02:22] Between the crosses painted white

[00:02:24] Row on row on row

[00:02:33] Aloha oh and so goodbye

[00:02:39] Till next year boys next July

[00:02:44] We are with you all the way

[00:02:50] And I think it's safe to say

[00:02:55] You are not alone

[00:03:00] You are not alone

[00:03:05] You are not alone
