When I was a little boyI was raised down south in mexicoNothing ever happened that was new to meThen one day we saw circus posters on the wallSuddenly, all my friends and iWe heard a soundIt was loudMusic all around us seemed to make us freeLife is just a passing paradiseLife is just a passing paradiseEverybody started dancingI never saw so many people having so much fun[Life is Just a Passing Parade lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]Now I'm living in this countryAnd I have got myself a steady jobI keep seeing people happy everywhereAll I get to do is play my guitarCome on! everybody get together, have some funCome on! everybody get together, have some funLife is just a passing paradiseLife is just a passing paradiseEverybody started dancingI never saw so many people having so much fun
