In the veterans big parade   Marched the businessmen’s brigade   While behind the high school band   The ladies fife and drum corps played   In the veterans big parade   The flag flew high and free      Down they marched to Fourth and Main   Our soldiers died but not in vain   God was with us   That’s for sure   He proved it cause   It didn’t rain   Balloons batons you wanted to cry   The best day in July      At the veterans cemetery   Then the services were said   There the Mayor’s first assistant   Wiped his glasses   Put them on   And red      We’re gathered here   Dear friends today   To show our brave boys   Where they lay   We are with them all the way   And I think it’s safe to say   They are not   Alone   They are not   Alone      All the widows proudly smiled   (Except for one with an infant child)   Picnic time was then announced   And all the little kids went wild   Picnic blankets then were spread   And the beer flowed fast and free   There were clams and corn on the cob   To feed the celebrating mob   (Once in a while   I don’t know why   The infant child   Began to sob)   Other than that is was New Year’s Eve   Till it was time to leave      Then a fine Hawaiian band   Played and sang   Aloha oh   And their voices drifted low   Between the crosses   Painted white   Row on row on row      Aloha oh   And so goodbye   Till next year boys   Next July   We are with you   All the way   And I think   It’s safe to say   You are not   Alone   You are not   Alone   You are not   Alone
