I told you keep a tight rein on your parade
you don't want to let it go careening around
keep a tight rein on your parade
you don't want to see it all come crashing down
down the street, the wrong way,
paved with colored balloons
see the helpful barricades
see it run straight through
with a boom and a snap
the sawhorses giddyap
they go flying to the sides,
tumble under and crack
it's a runaway parade
and the people line the way
as they panic back, they're sorry
they showed up so very early
and they staked the choicest spots
now they're wishing they had not
they have far too close a view
as the runaway parade
comes through
