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
|
