Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
[Chorus]
Eh Cumpari, ci vo sunari
Can you dig it? (Yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday
[Verse 2]
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 (Play the song, play the song, play on)
And singing for us all
[Chorus]
Will you help him change the world
Can you dig it? (Yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For today
[Bridge]
Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way
Listen children, all is not lost
All is not lost, oh, no, oh
[Verse 3]
Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
People reaching, people touching
A real celebration
Waiting for us all (Waiting for us all)
[Chorus]
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, yeah, yeah, yeah
