Midway hawkers calling Try your luck with me Merry-go-round wheezing The same old melody A thousand ten cent wonders Who could ask for more A pocketful of silver The key to heaven’s door
Lakeside Park Willows in the breeze Lakeside Park So many memories Laughing rides Midway lights Shining stars on summer nights
Days of barefoot freedom Racing with the waves Nights of starlit secrets Crackling driftwood flames Drinking by the lighthouse Smoking on the pier Still we saw the magic Fading every year
Lakeside Park Willows in the breeze Lakeside Park So many memories Laughing rides Midway lights Shining stars on summer nights
*** Know that your place in life Is where you want to be Don’t let them tell you that You owe it all to me Keep on looking forward No use in looking round Carry your head above the crowd And they won’t bring you down
Anthem of the heart and mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought New wonders in the world they wrought
Though I know they’ve always Told you selfishness is wrong Yet it was for me not you I came to write this song
Anthem of the heart and mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought New wonders in the world they wrought
