Lindy Comes to Town (with Laurence Juber) |
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 |
Reached 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 |
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 ticker-tape parade |
I wanna be there in that crown upon that bright, bright morning |
I can tell the world I saw a new day dawning |
With my baby by my side in among that human tide |
I wanna be right there when Lindy comes to town |
I wanna be right there when Lindy comes to town |
Every day is better than the day before it |
If I see a rain cloud then I 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 |
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 ticker-tape parade |
I want to be there in that crown upon that bright, bright morning |
I can tell the world I saw a new day dawning |
With my baby by my side in among that human tide |
I wanna be right there when Lindy comes to town |
I wanna be right there when Lindy comes to town |
