| All the girls and boys are gone away
|
| Never really had much to say
|
| They took all their clothes and their shoes
|
| Politely asked to be excused
|
| They’re the children on parade
|
| They have secrets that they share
|
| They’re the children on parade
|
| And nobody knows
|
| Nobody knows
|
| All the broken toys lie on the floor
|
| There’s no more laughter from down the hall
|
| Mirror mirror mirror on the wall
|
| Whatever could have happened to them all
|
| To the children on parade
|
| And all the secrets that they share
|
| They’re the children on parade
|
| And nobody knows
|
| Nobody knows
|
| All across the world, just yesterday
|
| All the girls and boys just went away
|
| They took off all their clothes and their shoes
|
| I’d love to someday hear all the news
|
| About the children on parade
|
| And about all the secrets that they share
|
| They’re the children on parade
|
| And nobody knows
|
| Nobody knows
|
| Nobody knows
|
| Nobody knows |
