Sunday in the Park

< instrumental opening >

Sunday in the park,
all week long we keep on looking forward to
the happy things we do, it's such a lark,
on Sunday in the park . . .

Sitting in the sun,
with the trees and grass and flowers everywhere
and lots of room to spare, we have such fun,
on Sunday in the park . . .

Rich folks go away to the country, you know,
when the days get hot
but we all decided that we wouldn't go . . .
we'd prefer this quiet spot, on . . .

Sunday in the park . . .
it's our summer home where we can play and sport
our fashionable resort, until it's dark,
on Sunday in the park . . .
