I Love A Parade 
Ted Koehler, Harold Arlen

I Love A Parade, the tramping of feet,
I love every beat I hear of a drum.
I Love A Parade, When I hear a band,
I just want to stand and cheer as they come.

That rat-a-tat-tat,
The blare of a horn,
That rat-a-tat-tat,
A bright uniform,
The sight of a drill,
Will give me a thrill,
I thrill at the skill of anything military.

I love A Parade, a handful of vets,
A line of cadets or any brigade
For I Love A Parade.
