Letra Before the Parade Passes By par Original 2017 Broadway Revival Cast of the Hello, Dolly!

Before the parade pa**es by
I've gotta get in step while there's still time left
Before the parade pa**es by

Mrs. Levi, come along! Cornelius is taking us down to see the Fourteenth Street parade. Everybody will be marching!

Why, Irene, you're crying!

Oh, Dolly. The world is full of wonderful things. Come with us, Dolly

I will, Irene. I will!

(sung)
Before the parade pa**es by
I'm gonna go and taste Saturday's high life
Before the parade pa**es by
I'm gonna get some life back into my life
I'm ready to move out in front
I've had enough of just pa**ing by life
With the rest of them
With the best of them
I can hold my head up high
For I've got a goal again
I've got a drive again
I'm gonna feel my heart coming alive again
Before the parade pa**es by

Look at that crowd up ahead
Listen and hear that bra** harmony growing
Look at that crowd up ahead
Pardon me if my old spirit is showing
All of those lights over there
Seem to be telling me where I'm going
When the whistle blows
And the cymbals crash
And the sparklers light the sky
I'm gonna raise the roof
I'm gonna to carry on
Give me an old trombone
Give me an old baton
Before the parade pa**es by

Before the parade pa**es by
Listen and hear that bra** harmony growing
When the parade pa**es by
Pardon me if my old spirit is showing
All of those lights over there
Seem to be telling me where I'm going

When the whistle blows
And the symbols crash
And the sparklers light the sky
I'm gonna raise the roof
I'm gonna to carry on
Give me an old trombone
Give me an old baton
Before the parade pa**es by

I'm gonna raise the roof
I'm gonna to carry on
Give me an old trombone
Give me an old baton

Before the parade pa**es by!
