And I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
People were shouting and pushing and saying
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
Got me singing along with some kind of half-hearted victory song
It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
Trumpet has obviously been drinking
To people passing by that all seem to be going the other way
I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing
When they clean the street I'll be the only shit that's left behind
Because he's fucking up even the simplest lines
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
A ridiculous marching band started playing
They asked me to come down and watch the parade
Throwing out candy that looks like money

Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
To march down the street like the Duracell bunny
Said won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
With a wink and a wave from the cavalcade
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
