A place on the parade, imagine it. A place on the parade
(Shop Man)
Could be just the opportunity for a get ahead young man
(Gilbert)
A place on the parade, me name above the door, Gilbert Chilvers
Chirpo-dist. A place on the parade, it's what I've been waiting for
It's perfectly positioned, both promenant yet quaint
An adequate shop window, a lick or two of paint
Everything I've dreamed of for setting up in trade
My own place, my place on the parade
Hammertoes and bunions
Callouses and corns
Clippers for the toenails
Tweesers for the thorns
Fear of fallen arches
Easily allaid
In my place on the parade
Tinniel infection
Fetid fungal growth
Step into my parlour
I can cure you both
Virrilant veruccas
Fall beneth the blade
In my place on the parade
Think of the good
I could achieve
Think of the pain
I could relieve
While wise men
Make Britain great again
Playing their roles
I'm saving soles
Remedies and ointments
It's the stuff of dreams
Every embrocation
Liniments and creams
Pummice stones and scalpels
Loving displayed
In my place on the parade
On the parade
(Joyce)
Gilbert!
(Gilbert)
(Joyce)
Propriety shouting down the parade!
(Gilbert)
Joyce, haven't we always talked of one day having my own
Surgery on the parade? And now finally, there's an open door!
(Joyce)
Yes, it's true
Everyone would notice
How could they resist
(Gilbert)
Good day Mrs Chilvers
How may we assist
(Both)
As for dirty glances
They would quickly fade
With our place on the parade
(Joyce)
We'll be the new
(Gilbert)
Think of the good
(Joyce)
People to know
(Gilbert)
I could achieve
(Joyce)
We will break through
(Gilbert)
Think of the pain
(Joyce)
Then watch us grow
(Gilbert)
I could relieve
One small shop
(Joyce)
Who knows where things may stop
(Both)
Dreams can be made
On the parade
(simultaneous)
(Gilbert)
Hammertoes and bunions
Callouses and corns
Clippers for the toenails
Tweesers for the thorns
(Joyce)
When this town
Gets to see
There is all
More to me
(Gilbert)
As for dirty glances
(Joyce)
No more dirty glances
(Gilbert)
They would quickly fade
(Both)
With our place
On the parade at last
(Gilbert)
Setting up in trade
(Joyce)
Due respect will be paid
(Both)
When we're on the parade
