Here comes the fanfare Just picture them all in their underwear You won't mind if they stare All you listeners beware We've got something new for you Something for all you boys and girls to stomp your feet to It's something old, and it's hardly been used Something strange has crossed my mind What if we left you all behind? Would you be scared? Would you be ready for the fanfare? There's a parade in the name of Old King Cade And the sisters of mercy and the motorcade Too many colors for one to name Is this real or is it just a game? Swing together like marionettes and Dance the sound of the castanets Little boys on their skateboards playing too rough Little girls telling jokes and swinging double dutch and I can only stay here so long before I get too scared and leave I've never seen everyone so happy there's just so much to believe And I can hardly wait for next year For the fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare A great big bang Let the fire commence With the sound of the Tabernacle Choir Of the ill intent Shameless now we are As we're draped in night and stars There's animals in us all I can only stay here so long before I get too scared and leave I've never seen everyone so happy there's just so much to believe And I can hardly wait for next year For the fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare Jessica and Janine, what do you think? Are we gonna take this sh** and run? Are we gonna stay here and blink? And who do you trust? Are you in the dark to the Ginger Prince? Fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare
