Cheerleaders rode in the back of a truck. Waving and wishing the players good luck. The crowd, how they yelled, the students how merry! They liked what they saw. and so they did tarry. The middle school band passed by, row after row, And the shade of their pants was as white as the snow. The reed of an instrument between their teeth. And the majorette circled her hands like a wreath. But that was the end of our little parade, Time to get up, and brush off. and come out of the shade.

In hopes that a victory soon would be there. But students weren't nestled all snug in their beds. They were surrounded by crepe paper up to their heads.

Floats were entering town, that's what's the matter. Away from the school, students flew like a flash. And down to the curbsides the students did dash. The sun on this day without falling rain. Made it perfect to sit on this street called Main. When what to my wondering eyes should appear. But a high school band, music to the ear. With a band director, so lively and quick. Knew in a moment that he'd make them tick. More rapid than eagles his marchers they came. And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name. Now tubas! Now, trumpets! Now, saxes and drums! On, flutes! Clarinets! The band this way comes. To the end of the street! To the top of the hill! Now dash away, dash away! Finish we will! As dry leaves that before the wind did fly, The spectators watching gave one great big sigh. So on to the next entry their eyes they flew. It was a car full of royalty, king and queen too.
