CORA:<br>
Hi!... Hey!... Wait!... Voters!...<br>
I see flags, I hear bells,<br>
There's a parade in town.<br>
I see crowds, I hear yells,<br>
There's a parade in town!<br>
I hear drums in the air,<br>
I see clowns in the square,<br>
I see marchers marching,<br>
Tossing hats at the sky.<br>
Did you hear? Did you see?<br>
Is a parade in town?<br>
Well, they're out of step, the flutes are squeaky,<br>
The banners are frayed.<br>
Any parade in town without me<br>
Must be a second-class parade!<br>
So!... Ha!...<br>
<br>
BOTH GROUPS:<br>
Hapgood has no answers or suggestions,<br>
Only a lot of questions.<br>
We like questions!<br>
What's the use of answers or suggestions?<br>
As long as we're told where to go,<br>
There isn't a thing we need to know!<br>
<br>
CORA:<br>
I see flags, I hear bells,<br>
There's a parade in town.<br>
I see crowds, I hear yells,<br>
There's a parade in town!<br>
I hear drums in the air,<br>
I see clowns in the square,<br>
I see marchers marching,<br>
Tossing hats at the sky.<br>
Did you hear? Did you see?<br>
Was a parade in town?<br>
Were there drums without me?<br>
Was a parade in town?<br>
'Cause I'm dressed at last,<br>
at my best, and my banners are high.<br>
Tell me, while I was getting ready,<br>
Did a parade go by?<br>
