Hospitality On Parade

(Ron Mael)

Someday we`ll have one extra coastline
We`ll tire of the Atlantic
By then we`ll be rid of your lot
A shot heard `round the world will soon be shot,
Will soon be shot

`Til then have some tea and tobacco
Hey Jenny meet your master
Be nice, show him kindness and such
Be kind to our master

But of feeling is a-brewing that we don`t need any masters
`Cause we all can be a master and we all can be a king

We speak and we sing the way that you do
And showed you our hospitality on parade
But now we are we, we`re no longer you
Tara to that hospitality on parade

Today you`re going to find their descendants
In places all around you
You`re faced with the easiest task
How best to act a king when always treated like a king

Lunch counters, at banks and the theatre
Kind help right there to serve you
Men selling, and girls selling too
And everyone`s special

We all are someone special
Yes, we all are someone special
For we all are someone special
Where the customer is king

Whoever you are, whoever you bring
You`ll find that hospitality on parade
However you look, you`re always a king
Wherever there`s hospitality on parade

I`m special, you`re special
He`s special, she`s special
We`re all someone special
And i am the king

(Chorus)

Whoever you are, whoever you bring
You`ll find that hospitality on parade
However you look, you`re always a king
Where ever there`s hospitality on parade
