Lyrics
Come on aboard, I promise you you won't hurt the horse
Come on aboard, join us; assurance that participation won't harm the cause.
We treat him well, we feed him well
Ensuring good treatment and care for a metaphorical horse, possibly representing a collective effort.
There's lots of room for you on the bandwagon
Invitation to join a popular movement or trend with ample space available.
The road may be rough, the weather may forget us
Acknowledgment that challenges may arise on the journey, uncertainties about the future.
But won't we all parade around and sing our songs
Emphasis on collective celebration, parading, and singing together.
A magic kingdom, open-armed
Reference to a joyful, welcoming place depicted as a "magic kingdom."
Greet us hello, bravo, name in lights
Reception with enthusiasm, acknowledgment in lights, and praise.
Passing on the word to fellow passengers and players, passing in
Spreading the message to others involved in the movement or activity.
Until you're tired looking at all the flags
Continuation until fatigue, observing numerous flags representing various aspects.
And all the banners waving
Highlighting the visual spectacle of banners waving in the celebration.
This is some parade, yesiree Bob
Expressing admiration for the grandeur of the parade.
Could we have known?
Reflective question about whether the participants could have foreseen the current situation.
Yesiree Bob, could we have known?
Reiteration of the reflective question, possibly suggesting doubt or contemplation.
Look at all the flags and all the banners waving
Revisiting the impressive display of flags and banners.
Open up our arms, a magic kingdom, open-armed and greet us all
Emphasizing the open-armed welcome in the metaphorical magic kingdom.
Come on aboard, I promise you you won't hurt the horse
Repetition of the invitation to join without harm to the metaphorical horse.
We treat him well, we feed him well
Reiteration of good treatment and care for the metaphorical horse.
There's lots of room for you on the bandwagon
Renewed invitation with assurance of ample space available.
The road may be rough, the weather may forget us
Reiteration of potential challenges on the journey.
But won't we all parade around
Emphasis on collective celebration through parading and singing.
And sing our songs and wave our flags
Continued expression of joy through actions like waving flags.
A magic kingdom, greet us all hello
Repetition of the idea of a welcoming magic kingdom with open arms.
Greet us hello, greet us hello
Repetition of the enthusiastic greeting in the metaphorical magic kingdom.
