Chicago- Saturday In The Park *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
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday

Saturday in the park
You'd think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
You'd think it was the Fourth of July
People talking, really smiling
A man playing guitar
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,
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

Idk y but i think of sweeny tod when I hear the tune of some lyrics

[magpieeye]

@bze2nlz1 Oh Yeah, Robert Lamm, now I do remember him! Now that you mentioned the name, LOL. But as for the others, the band was so big it seemed that I really only knew Cetera and Lamm. thanks for the info :)

[childsweethearts]

Wow! Both Robert Lamm and Peter Cetera sing this song so well, it's hard to choose who sings it better. Does anyone have a preference?

[bze2nlz1]

@childsweethearts Robert Lamm is singing lead here. Jason Scheff also sings...he plays bass guitar. Yes, they are still touring! To get to their website, type 'chicagotheband' into your address bar. Or just search 'Chicago 2011 Tour' :)

@magpieeye See my last reply to BossLadyWhite about the band :)

[bze2nlz1]

@BossLadyWhite It's Robert Lamm singing lead, as he has for over 40 years. Peter Cetera used to sing along with him, but since PC left the band in '85, it's now Jason Scheff's part. That's who you see here on bass guitar.

[magpieeye]

@BossLadyWhite No, you're not bad. If you want to know the real truth, I would'nt be able to name the others in the band. It's just I know Cetera's sound and what he looks like, hehe :)

[BossLadyWhite]

@magpieeye You are correct-I am wrong...Peter Cetera sang it originally and yes,his voice is VERY distinctive.And nope,not him in the vid,either!My bad!

[magpieeye]

@BossLadyWhite That is not Peter Cetera...this was AFTER he left the group. I don't know the guys name, but it's defintely NOT Cetera...I grew up during the year of this song, and I know what Peter Cetera looks like and SOUNDS like...hope it helps
