[Verse 1]
When I was a little boy
I was raised down South in Mexico
Nothing ever happened that was new to me
Then one day we saw circus posters on the wall
Suddenly, all my friends and I
We heard a sound
It was loud
Music all around us seemed to make us free
[Pre-Chorus]
Life is just a passing parade
Life is just a passing parade
[Chorus]
Everybody started dancing
I never saw so many people having so much fun
[Verse 2]
Now I'm living in this country
And I have got myself a steady job
I keep seeing people happy everywhere
And all I get to do is play my guitar
[Bridge]
Come on! Everybody get together, have some fun
Come on! Everybody get together, have some fun
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
