Hospitality on Parade (Live at Fairfield Halls 1975) lyrics
by Sparks
Now, would like to do another new song for you
And this tune, is a very brief history, of the United States of America
Wrapped into about two verses it is a tune that's called, "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 (hospitality, hospitality)
Hey Jenny, meet your master
Be nice, show him kindness and such (hospitality, hospitality)
Be kind to, our master
But a feeling is a-brewing that we don't need any masters (hospitality, hospitality)
'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
Tarah 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 (hospitality, hospitality)
Kind help right there to serve you
Men selling, and girls selling too (hospitality, hospitality)
And everyone's special
Yes, we all are someone special (hospitality, hospitality)
Yes, we all are someone special (hospitality, hospitality)
For we all are someone special (hospitality, hospitality)
Where the customer is king
Whoever you are, whoever you bring
You'll find that hospitality on parade
How ever you look, you're always a king
Whenever there's hospitality on parade, sing it now
Hospitality
Hospitality, hospitality
Hospitality, hospitality (we are all special)
I'm special, so special (oh I'm so special)
He's special, she's special (he's so special)
We're all so, so special (we're all so special)
And I am, the king (and I am, the king)
We speak and we sing, the way that you do (hospitality on parade)
And showed you our hospitality on parade
But now we are we, we're no longer you (hospitality on parade)
Tarah to that hospitality on parade
Whoever you are, whoever you bring (hospitality on parade)
You'll find that hospitality on parade
How ever you look, you're always a king (hospitality on parade)
Whenever there's hospitality on parade
Hospitality on parade
Hospitality on parade
Hospitality on parade
Hospitality on parade
We are all special
I'm special, so special (I'm so special)
He's special, she's special (he's so special)
We're all so, so special (we're all so special)
And I am, the king (and I am, the king)
Oh I'm special, so special (oh I'm so special)
He's special, she's special (he's so special)
We're all so, so special (we're all so special)
And I am, the king (and I am, the king)
I'm special, so special (I'm so special)
He's special, she's special (he's so special)
We're all so, so special (we're all so special)
And I am, the king (and I am, the king)
And I am, the king (and I am, the king)
And I am, the king (and I am, the king)
And I am, the king (and I am, the king)
