Lindy flew his plane across the dark |
|
Atlantic Put her down near |
|
Paris and the crowds went frantic |
|
They raced across the field, to touch the wings and wheels |
|
And reach inside the cockpit just to see if he was real |
|
Back in New |
|
York City people watched and waited |
|
The news came down the wire and they celebrated |
|
And in that time so brief, it was everyone's belief |
|
That the world had grown no bigger than a pocket handkerchief |
|
When Lindy comes to town and all the bands are playing |
|
When Lindy comes to town and all the flags are waving |
|
Mr Coolidge he will say, it's a public holiday |
|
You can see them ride down |
|
Wall Street in a tickertape parade |
|
I want to be there in that crown upon that bright, bright morning |
|
And I can tell the world |
|
I saw a new day dawning |
|
With my baby by my side in among that human tide |
|
I want to be right there when |
|
Lindy comes to town |
|
Every day is better than the one before it |
|
If I see a raincloud then |
|
I'll just ignore it |
|
Everybody says it'll get much better yet |
|
It's 1927 and my whole life lies ahead |
|
Gonna get myself a car and find a place to park it |
|
Get a little cash and put it in the market |
|
And on my wedding day |
|
I will turn around and say |
|
There never was a better time than this one anyway |
|
When Lindy comes to town and all the bands are playing |
|
When Lindy comes to town and all the flags are waving |
|
Mr Coolidge he will say, it's a public holiday |
|
You can see them ride down |
|
Wall Street in a tickertape parade |
|
I want to be there in that crown upon that bright, bright morning |
|
And I can tell the world |
|
I saw a new day dawning |
|
With my baby by my side in among that human tide |
|
I want to be right there when |
|
Lindy comes to town |
