Gary, Indiana (Extrait De La Comédie Musicale « the Music Man ») - Robert Preston

Harold:

Gary, Indiana!

What a wonderful name

Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame

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
