In the veterans big parade Marched the businessmen's brigade
While behind the high school band The ladies fife and drum called play
In the veterans big parade The flag flew high and free
Down they marched to Forth and Main Our soldiers died but not in vain
God was with us that's for sure He proved it cause it didn't rain
Balloons batons you wanted to cry The best day in July
At the veterans cemetery Then the services were said
There the mayor's first assistant Wiped his glasses put them on and read
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba We're gathered here, dear friends, today
To show our brave boys where they lay We are with them all the way
And I think it's safe to say They are not alone
They are not alone All the widows proudly smiled
Except for one with an infant child Picnic time was then announced
And all the little kids went wild Picnic blankets then were spread
And the beer flowed fast and free There were clams and corn on the cob
To feed the celebrating mob Once in a while I don't know why
The infant child began to sob Other than that it was New Year's Eve
Till it was time to leave Then the fine Hawaiian band played and sang
Alo-o-o And their voices drifted low
Between the crosses painted white Row on, row on, row
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba Alo-o-o
And so goodbye Till next year, boys, next July
We are with you all the way And I think it's safe to say
You are not alone You are not alone
You are not alone You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone
