Queen of Day of the Dead Parade

We kept hearing the queen was here, but this parade was insane
Every person from ten thousand miles was here, dancing in the rain.
Which one is she? We asked, straining to figure this out.
Finally, we heard many using a confirming shout.

The Queen of the Day of the Dead Parade was sauntering by.
She was led by six horses with skull masks, I wanted to cry.
It was an amazing finish to a parade that lasted six hours.
We arrived back at our hotel six seconds before insane thunder showers.
