Lyrics
There's a park near me
With a pond and lots of trees.
It invites you for a look
Or just to read a book
Or maybe watch all the activities.
There are twins out playing on the swings and slide
While the swans are running on the water.
Children are swimming with the lifeguard's eyes
Making sure they do just what they ought-a.
Some dogs are barking as their owners throw
A frisbee skipping off the playground
Toddlers race around with ice cream cones
Mothers right behind them hope they lay down.
It was on a lark,
But not in the dark,
When I acted on a whim,
Decided to go in
And became a pedestrian in the park.
The pickup basketball game's 4 on 4.
The shots are missing 'cause it's windy.
Kites are flying with lines long and short
If you watch them too much you get dizzy.
It was on a lark,
But not in the dark,
When I acted on a whim,
Decided to go in
And became a pedestrian in the park.
Oh I became a pedestrian, not an equestrian, or even parkestrian in the park.
