Every year on New Year’s Day,
The Mummers strut and start to play,
Oh Dem Golden Slippers song,
I start to strut and sing along.
The costumers are so colorful,
I never ever get my fill.
Of this parade I love to cheer,
Each and every band’s headgear.
The reds and blues and purple plumes,
I smile and start to hum that tune.
The music loud and very cheery,
I sometimes get a little teary.
The Mummers strut and then they sway,
I love them so much on New Year’s Day.
This parade is the very best,
I never want to see the rest.
