My Big Moment
Someday soon I am going to be in a big parade
I’m not going to be the Grand Marshall, of course,
I would ride a motor scooter if I were not afraid.
I’ve given thought to a Shriner’s tiny car charade
Actually, I’d prefer a fancy-clad palomino horse
Someday soon I am going to be in a big parade!
My best friends have suggested I visit an arcade
Indulge my imagination without possible remorse
I would ride a motor scooter if I were not afraid.
At my age my children say I should be more staid
Foregoing my grand illusions, I consider the source;
Someday soon, I am going to be in a big parade.
I promise you, I’ll be sporting my finest brocade
As I’ve never been known to be tawdry or coarse
I would ride a motor scooter if I were not afraid.
I’ll be tricked out with a necklace made of jade,
And I’ll be tossing candy and cheering until hoarse
Someday soon I am going to be in a big parade
I would ride a motor scooter if I were not afraid!
