At Least We Got to the Race

At least we got to the race At least we got to the place where you show your face We didn't win we didn't show we didn't place But at least we got to the race At least we got to the ball We maybe stumbled but we didn't take a fall No glass slippers, no shoes at all But at least we got to the ball Nobody counted, counted us in Nobody thought that we'd ever win They were right, right after all But while they were counting, we had a ball At least we made the parade And we were there when the payback was finally paid Warm in the sun, cool in the shade At least we made the parade Saw lots of others, sisters and brothers Lay down their load by the side of the road But what did we care we just stayed laissez fair You can't get enough of affirmative stuff At least we found our way home Didn't hurt nobody, didn't do nobody wrong Couldn't find the short way so we took the long To the stroll rock and roll to the race dig your face To the fair to the zoo to the game me and you At least we found our way home
