People dancing, people smiling, a man selling ice cream

And singing Italian songs.

[ad lib Italian words]  Can you dig it?  Yes, I can.

And I've been waiting such a long time for Saturday.

 

Another day in the Park, I think it was the Fourth of July.

Another day in the Park, I think it was the Fourth of July.

People talking, really smiling, a man playing guitar & singing for us all.

Will you help him change the world?  Can you dig it?  Yes, I can.

And IÕve been waiting such a long time for today.

 

BRIDGE:

Gm7  C      Gm7

Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day.

  Bbm7   Eb  Bbm7  Eb  Bbm7 Eb Bbm7

A bronze man still can tell stories his own way.

Listen, children, all is not lost;

All is not lost, oh--, no--, no.

Funny days in the Park, everydayÕs the Fourth of July.

Funny days in the Park, everydayÕs the Fourth of July.

People reaching, people touching, a real celebration waiting for us all.

If you want it, really want it.  Can you dig it?  Yes I can.

And I've been waiting such a long time for the day.
