Before the Parade Passes By/Don’t Rain on My Parade by Kathie Lee Gifford Lyrics

Before the parade passes by
I’m gonna go and taste Saturday’s high life
Before the parade passes by
I’m gonna get some life back into my life

I’m ready to move out in front
I’ve had enough of just passin’ by life
With the rest of them
And the best of them

I’m gonna hold my head up high
I’m gonna raise the roof
I’m gonna carry on
Give me an old trombone
Give me an old baton
Before the parade passes by

I’m gonna live and live now
Get what I want
I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw
That bell will go clang
Eye on the targe and wham
One shot
One gunshot
And bam!
Hey, look at me, world
Here I am

Before the parade passes by
I’m gonna hear that brass harmony blowin’
Before the parade passes by
Pardon me if my old spirit is showing
I’m ready to move out in front
Something’s telling me where I’m going
With the rest of them
And the best of them

I’m gonna hold my head up high
I’e got a goal again
I’ve got a drive again
I’m gonna feel my heart comin’ alive again
Before the parade passes by
