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
