Come on wave y'all, down by the riverside   Say toodle-loo to the passing of a king   If you can cling to the magic of the moment   You'll carry on the message, just like him      Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be scared of   You're not alone, even when you're by yourself   There ain't too much that really makes a ha'p'ths worth o' difference   There ain't nothing new, that ain't been done before      Is this the end of the old guard?    I wouldn't count on it   Is this end of the old platoon?       When all the nations speak, unto the nations   Not by the party boys who claim the title king   We'll stop to see the changes that are written   By the dawning of a new world here within      Is this the end of the old guard?    I wouldn't count on it   Is this the end of the old platoon?       Don't count on it      I've seen the changes   And I've heard the liberties   So don't you tell me there's no more I can do   I built a castle from the dreams of idle wasters   And I'm on the ramparts looking down at you      Is this the end of the old guard?    I wouldn't count on it   Is this the end of the old platoon?
