Gary, Indiana Lyrics

[Spoken]
Harold:
Gary, Indiana!
What a wonderful name!
Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame.
[Sung]
Gary, Indiana, as a Shakespeare would say,
Trips along softly on the tongue this way:

Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
Let me say it once again.
Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
That's the town that "knew me when."
If you'd like to have a logical explanation,
How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation,
There is just one place
That can light my face.

Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but,
Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
My home sweet home.
