Tracy's Parade
Words & Music by Wil Key

Tracy was a bad boy, from the north side
he liked to hoop n’ game
light-skinned and small, with a lot of style
the boy could really play
Now Tracy he marched to another drum
and whenever you heard it you knew
there could be only one
a radiant child of the sun
nothing more to say

I hear your voice callin’, I hear the Dove
Purple the color of music and love
You are the paint for the artist in us
We thank u, We thank u
I hear your Melody Cool like the rain
Showering down over 17 days
We all are marchin’ in Tracy’s Parade
We thank u, we thank u

Fast forward, Tracy’s in a band
See the train came to carry him down
To Central Grand
Paid the fare, with the guitar in his hand
And he was on his way
Now Tracy, he could sing and could dance (what you say)
That’s when the Hollywood brothers stepped in
to spin a sweet romance
They said “sign your name, we’re giving you a chance”
And took him to LA


I hear your voice callin’, I hear the Dove
Purple the color of music and love
You are the paint for the artist in us
We thank u, We thank u
I hear your Melody Cool like the rain
Showering down over 17 days
We all are marchin’ in Tracy’s Parade
We thank u, we thank u

All of this and more
Is for you

Whenever I feel like giving up
Whenever my sunshine, turns to rain
Whenever my hopes and dreams
Are aimed in the wrong direction
You’re always there
I can hear you singin’, sayin’
Tonight I’m gonna be somebody’s somebody
Tonight I’m gonna belong to someone
We gon’ bring the music to the party
It’s erotic (Erotic City), don’t stop it (Can’t stop this feelin’ I got)

Pop life, everybody needs a thrill
Pop life, we all got a space to fill
Pop life, everybody can't be on top
Life it ain't real funky, when you ain't here to rock....

(Guitar solo)

I hear your voice callin’, I hear the Dove
Purple the color of music and love
You are the paint for the artist in us
We thank u, We thank u
I hear your Melody Cool like the rain
Showering down over 17 days
We all are marchin’ in Tracy’s Parade
We thank u, we thank u
