You asked me to come down and watch the parade   to march down the street like the Duracel bunny   but we get away from the cavalcade   throwing out candy that looks like money   to people passing by    they'd all seem to be going the other way      So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?      Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar   People were shouting and pushing and saying   they'd traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar      Ridiculous marching band started playing   got me singing along    with some half-hearted victory song      So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?      The trumpet has obviously been drinking   cause he's fucking up even the simplest lines   You say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing   It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine   When they clean the street, I'll be the only shit that's left behind      So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
