Lyrics
Wicker on my elbow, coins in my coat Saturday sunshine on a pumpkin boat Cheese man waves with a slice on a knife Everyone's chatting like it's the best of life Squeeze a peach, take your time Nothing here is in a hurry Taste a plum, taste a lime Leave the worry, leave the flurry Here comes the basket parade Down the aisles where the colours are made Tomatoes red and the bread still warm Singing our way through the sunny swarm Hand to hand and friend to friend A little more joy than we planned to spend Here comes the basket parade Everybody's glad they stayed Fiddler on a crate by the flower stall Tulips in buckets, big and small Baker saves a loaf with my name on the bag Dog in a bandana, tail on the wag Squeeze a peach, take your time Nothing here is in a hurry Taste a plum, taste a lime Leave the worry, leave the flurry Here comes the basket parade Down the aisles where the colours are made Tomatoes red and the bread still warm Singing our way through the sunny swarm Hand to hand and friend to friend A little more joy than we planned to spend Here comes the basket parade Everybody's glad they stayed Pockets full and baskets heavy Neighbours nodding, steady, ready One more lemon, one more song Carry the sweetness all day long Here comes the basket parade Down the aisles where the colours are made Tomatoes red and the bread still warm Singing our way through the sunny swarm Hand to hand and friend to friend A little more joy than we planned to spend Here comes the basket parade Everybody's glad they stayed Here comes the basket parade Everybody's glad they stayed
