Saturday Morning Parade

"Beat! Beat! Beat!" said the drum
"Tap! Tap! Tap!" said the foot
This is for excitement, just for fun
Otherwise, it is all for moot.

Ting! Ting! Ting! went the bell
Clap! Clap! Clap! went the crowd
Sunshine and good times we will sell
Popcorn... bubblegum, our parade is loud!

"SHHHHHHHUSH!!!"

Then, there's a quietness, a lull
A tiny tot, a sweet little dear
Suddenly, she CRASHES her cymbals
The audience belts out a cheer!

"YES! YES! YES!" shout the townspeople
Dance! Dance! Dance! in the street
The Saturday Parade marches uphill
A weekend musical treat!
