         I can't even guess at the missing word, other than it rhymes 
with Angeline.

I tried slowing it down, and for what it's worth, I hear

         The big parade ain't got a shade on her as ?mire? as mine.

I.e., it sounds a bit like "mire," but I'll bet the word he wants is "fine."

With that wording, the sentiment, the meter and the rhyme scheme all 
come out . . . (wait for it) . . . fine.

Listen for "fine" and see if your ear can make it work.
