Chicago - Saturday in the park (1972, Chicago V) (LIVE)

한때는 레코드 가게에서 좋은 곡만을 녹음해서 팔기도 했던 적이 있었다.
뭐 알음알음으로 팔던거니.. 당시엔 크게 문제되지도 않았고..
오히려 레코드 구입하기 어려운 청소년들에겐 명곡을 들을 좋은 기회이기도 했었다.
추억의 영화음악, 듣기 좋은 클래식, 신나는 락음악 등등..
물론 신청곡도 가능해서 곡목을 적어가면 주인장께서 녹음해 주시곤 하셨는데..
공테이프 + 수고비 정도였다.. 가내수공업(?)이라 주인장의 이쁜 필체도 느낄수 있었고..
여러곡 적어가면 곡들이 테이프에 다 안들어기때문에 90분이나 120분짜리 테이프를 구입해야 했다.
그 중 한곡이었다... 시카고 있을때 Buckingham 분수를 보며 내내 흥얼거렸던...



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
Eicay varee', eisee' nardee' (<-Fake Italian lyrics)
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday

Another in the park
I'd think it was the Fourth of July
Another day in the park
I'd think it was the Fourth of July
People talking, really smiling
A man playing his guitar
And 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

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
