High School marching bands in Philadelphia marching through Broad Street
It’s the Mummer’s hail being a treat
Different Themes being a band’s twist
Then it is either fireworks of confetti or announcement are you ready?
But surprises to the audiences being pure fun
But we are nowhere near done
March on as the Mummer’s do
It’s a competition all High School bands must go through
It all orginates in the city of Brotherly Love
All the earmarks for one to think of
The Band Leader with the shoulder shrug
A Kodak moment in capturing the Bands being souvenir mug
Razzle and Dazzle under the entertainment lights
To the audience a pure delight
Now you know who the Mummer’s are
Let’s march together, but a reminder, the distance will be far.
