Lindy Comes To Town

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
