Lindy Comes To Town Letra

LINDY COMES TO TOWNby Al StewartLindy flew his plane across the dark AtlanticPut her down near Paris and the crowds went franticThey raced across the field, to touch the wings and wheelsAnd reach inside the cockpit just to see if he was realBack in New York City people watched and waitedThe news came down the wire and they celebratedAnd in that time so brief, it was everyone's beliefThat the world had grown no bigger than a pocket handkerchiefWhen Lindy comes to town and all the bands are playingWhen Lindy comes to town and all the flags are wavingMr Coolidge he will say, it's a public holidayYou can see them ride down Wall Street in a tickertape paradeI want to be there in that crown upon that bright, bright morningAnd I can tell the world I saw a new day dawningWith my baby by my side in among that human tideI want to be right there when Lindy comes to townEvery day is better than the one before itIf I see a raincloud then I'll just ignore itEverbody says it'll get much better yetIt's 1927 and my whole life lies aheadGonna get myself a car and find a place to park itGet a little cash and put it in the marketAnd on my wedding day I will turn around and sayThere never was a ebtter time than this one anywayWhen Lindy comes to town and all the bands are playingWhen Lindy comes to town and all the flags are wavingMr Coolidge he will say, it's a public holidayYou can see them ride down Wall Street in a tickertape paradeI want to be there in that crown upon that bright, bright morningAnd I can tell the world I saw a new day dawningWith my baby by my side in among that human tideI want to be right there when Lindy comes to town
