All alone I stand, looking out my window
As sweethearts hand in hand go walking past my window
It seems just like they're passing in revue
And as they pass they make me feel so blue

Two by two
They go marching through
The sweethearts on parade

I can't help cry
As they pass me by
The sweethearts on parade

I'd love to join their fun, but they bar me
'Cause it takes more than one to join their army

How I pine
Just to fall in line
With the sweethearts on parade

(Instrumental Break)

I'd love to join their fun, but they bar me
'Cause it takes more than one to join their army

How I pine
Just to fall in line
With the sweethearts on parade
