Who doesn't like a good street pageant around Christmas time? This song is about the one we have in Adelaide
lyrics
The Christmas Pageant
(R. Hood/ C. Stewart)
That time of year has come around
The Christmas Pageant is in town
And everyone can feel the festive vibe
The alarm is set it’s time for sleep
But no-one here is counting sheep
The anticipation make you feel alive
Coz it’s something we’ve been waiting for all year
The official start of all the Christmas cheer
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
At the Christmas Pageant
The closer we get into town
The traffic bustles all around
Coz we’re all going in the same direction
We finally start to walk towards
North Terrace and the restless hoards
To take our place in an Adelaide tradition
Coz it’s something we’ve been waiting for all year
The official start of all the Christmas cheer
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
At the Christmas Pageant
The marching bands go passing by
The funny clowns they catch my eye
And the floats with all their sights and sounds
The kids are waiting patiently
Coz there’s one thing that they want to see
It’s Father Christmas delighting all the crowd
Coz it’s something we’ve been waiting for all year
The official start of all the Christmas cheer
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
At the Christmas Pageant
