Lyrics
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 Eh Cumpari, ci vo sunari Can you dig it? (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time For Saturday 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 And singing for us all 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 Slow motion riders fly the colours 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, no 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) If we want it, really want it Can you dig it? (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time For the day
