Hear them play! Everybody… Make your way! ⸻ Chorus Midnight Parade! Raise your hands into the sky! Midnight Parade! Come on everybody! Raise ’em high! Midnight Parade! March together! Don’t be afraid! Everybody’s welcome… To the Midnight Parade! ⸻ Verse 2 Skeletons begin to swing Every vampire starts to sing Witches dancing in the rain Nobody remembers pain Dark Jester leads the way Laughing through the grand display One more song before the dawn The Midnight Parade rolls on ⸻ Pre-Chorus Hear the crowd! Hear them roar! One more song! One more more! ⸻ Chorus Midnight Parade! Raise your hands into the sky! Midnight Parade! Come on everybody! Raise ’em high! Midnight Parade! March together!

One more mile… One more song… The Midnight Parade… Rolls on! ⸻ FINAL CHORUS Midnight Parade! Raise your hands into the sky! Midnight Parade! Come on everybody! Raise ’em high! Midnight Parade! March together! Don’t be afraid! Everybody’s welcome… To the Midnight Parade! Midnight Parade! Midnight Parade! MIDNIGHT PARADE!! Midnight Parade! Raise your hands into the sky! Midnight Parade!
