[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
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 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
[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
[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
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
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

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

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
[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
