The Academy Blues Project - Coventry Parade Lyrics

Gather ‘round townspeople
Get the whole kingdom in the street
Our fair lady’s turning heads of everyone she meets
Debutantes, bon vivants, no Lord is immune
She's got hold of the emperor's wardrobe, and is sure to change his tune
The best view to be had is from the child's brigade
And one thing is for certain, despite the royal charade
All will be revealed at the Coventry Parade!
Tired of being miss pronunciation, Sade changed her name to Sade
She then switched her orientation and soon ran off with Jade
Now tail feathers in the hen house will fly hither and tither
As the two salacious sisters sing the shear delights of scissors
Yes, the first cut is the deepest, no matter where you shave
But you won't get very far if you don't unsheathe the blade
When all will be revealed at the Coventry Parade!
The Baker makes his pizza just off the village square
Banging, kneading all the dough, tossing it in the air
As it flattens on his stomach, much to diners' chagrin
It’s time to make the doughnuts... hey, get a load of him!
If the clothes make the man, sometimes he'll be unmade
And if you have to come without, you best stay in the shade
Because all will be revealed at the Coventry Parade!
So line up! Line up!
What a sight for all to see
Line up, line up!
Single file next to me
Step right up, right up
Right up to the curb!
Oh, line up, line up!
'Cause the lighting is superb
But the best view in the town, is from the child's brigade
And one thing is for certain, despite the royal charade
All will be revealed
All will be revealed
All will be revealed
At the Coventry Parade!
