Chorus
|
Well it's a nickel for the fiddler. It's a nickel for his tune.
|
It's a nickel for the tambourine kind of afternoon.
|
And it's a high holiday on the 21st of June.
|
And it's country music in the park and everybody's ruined.
|
|
Instrumental break
|
|
Well it's fountains full of dogs and kids.
|
And it's freaky apple pie.
|
And it's the ones who came to play.
|
And the ones just passin' by.
|
|
And it's coats of many colors.
|
And it almost makes me cry.
|
Lord it's ice cream on a stick.
|
And it's somethin' you can buy.
|
|
Instrumental break
|
|
Well it's a fiddler from Kentucky,
|
Who swears he's 83.
|
And he's fiddled every contest
|
From here to cripple creek.
|
|
And it's old ones and it's yound ones.
|
And it's plain they half agreed
|
But it's country music in the park,
|
as far as they can see.
|
|
Instrumental break
