[Verse 1]
Hup, two, three, four, marching down the street
To the rolling of the drums, the tramping of the feet
The General salutes while the widows wail and weep
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid
The price is paid
So start the parade

[Verse 2]
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the same
So there is no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed
Come light the flame
And start the paradе

[Verse 3]
Cold hard stares on faces so proud
Kisses from thе girls, cheers from the crowd
Widows from the last war are crying in their shrouds
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid
The price is paid
And start the parade
[Verse 4]
Hup, two, three, four, marching down the street
To the rolling of the drums, the tramping of the feet
The General salutes while the widows wail and weep
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid
The price is paid
So start the parade
