Hades on Parade
Broadway Ensemble

(Verse 1)


I’m the lord of the Underworld, and I've come to say,
Welcome to my gloomy realm, where shadows play.

From the flames of Tartarus to the Elysian bliss,
Every corner is mine, every soul's a kiss.



(Chorus)


Oh, Hades on Parade, the king of fallen shades,
In my infernal escapade, I’ve got it made.


Selling gloom and doom, it's a lucrative trade,
I'm glad you joined the Hades on Parade.



(Verse 2)


Did you think eternal life came without a cost?
Meet the man in charge now, for your soul is lost.


Plebes and kings alike, no distinction here,
In my world, all’s equal, so have another beer.



(Bridge)


You thought Zeus was grand with his lightning show,
But I've got fire, brimstone, everything below.

Even Cerberus says, 'Boss, you're the most,
'Cause down here in Hades, I'm the cosmic host.



(Chorus)


Oh, Hades on Parade, the king of fallen shades,
In my infernal escapade, I've got it made.

Selling gloom and doom, it's a lucrative trade,
I'm glad you joined the Hades on Parade.



(Breakdown)


So settle in, enjoy your stay,
You're never leaving anyway.


Sign the guestbook, seal your fate,
In Hades' world, it's never too late.


(Chorus)


Oh, Hades on Parade, the king of fallen shades,
In my infernal escapade, I’ve got it made.

Selling gloom and doom, it's a lucrative trade,
I'm glad you joined the Hades on Parade.


(Outro)


Oh, Hades on Parade, where the dead come to play,
In my shadowy charade, every night and day.

With a touch of dark humor, let’s begin the masquerade,
Welcome one and all, to the Hades on Parade.
