hospitality on parade

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

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
