HOSPITALITY ON PARADE (Ron Mael) 3:58



Someday we'll have one extra coastline

We'll tire of the Atlantic

By then we'll be rid of your lot

A shot heard 'round the world will soon be shot, will soon be shot



'Til then have some tea and tobacco

Hey Jenny meet your master

Be nice show him kindness and such

Be kind to our master



But a feeling is a-brewing that we don't need any masters

'Cause we all can be a master and we all can be a king



We speak and we sing the way that you do

And showed you our hospitality on parade

But now we are we, we're no longer you

Tara to that hospitality on parade



Today you're going to find their descendants

In places all around you

You're faced with the easiest task

How best to act a king when always treated like a king



Lunch counters, at banks and the theatre

Kind help right there to serve you

Men selling, and girls selling too

And everyone's special



We all are someone special

Yes, we all are someone special

For we all are someone special

Where the customer is king



Whoever you are, whoever you bring

You'll find that hospitality on parade

However you look, you're always a king

Wherever there's hospitality on parade



I'm special, you're special

He's special, she's special

We're all someone special

And i am the king



(CHORUS)



Whoever you are, whoever you bring

You'll find that hospitality on parade

However you look, you're always a king

Wherever there's hospitality on parade
