When Flowers Bloom In The Street
Yesterday was the Sunday
For Children Carnival parade
In St James ๐น๐น near where i live
St James ๐น๐น comes alive
Old and young dancing
Watching the children
The sun is hot hot
But nobody really cares
Watching the parade
The children enjoy
Displaying their fancy

So festive with the bright colors of the blossoms of the girls and the colors of the young men in the street. Love the wonderful music. To me it sounds like a combo of polka and pipe organ.
