They asked me to come down and watch the parade
ย
To march down the street like the Duracell bunny
But we get away from the cavalcade
Throwing out candy that looks like money
ย
To people passing by
They'd all seem to be going the other way
Said, "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
And I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
Ridiculous marching band started playing
ย
Got me singing along
With some half-hearted victory song
Won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
Won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
Won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
The trumpeter's 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
Won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
Won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
Won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
