[intro 2x]
D A E G
D A E G
they asked me to come down and watch the parade
D A E G
and to march down the street like the duracell bunny
D A E G
with a wink and a wave from the cavalcade
D A E G
throwing out candy that looks like money
F# B E G F#
to people passing by that all seem to be going the other way
D A E G
said won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
D A E G
tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
D A E G
people were shouting and pushing and saying
D A E G
and when i traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
D A E G
a ridiculous marching band started playing
F# B E G F#
and got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song
D A E G
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
D A E G
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
D A E G
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
D A E G
the trumpet has obviously been drinking
D A E G
because he's fucking up even the simplest lines
D A E G
i'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing
D A E G
it's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
F# B E G F#
and when they clean the street i'll be the only shit that's left behind
D A E G
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
D A E G
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
D A E G
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

[verse 2] - (same as verse 1)
Said won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
Tripped over a dog in a choke chain collar
People were shouting and pushing and saying
When I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
A ridiculous marching band started playing
And got me singing along to some half-hearted victory song
[Chorus]
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

[verse 3] - (same as verse 1)
The trumpet has obviously been drinking
Cause he's fucking up even the simplest linse
I'd say it's a sight thats quite worth seeing
Its just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
And when they cleen the street I'll be the only shit that's left behind
[chorus] - (same as previous)
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
