| 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 |
