Mac Arthur's Park

By Donna Summer

Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance

(Chorus)
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
Birds, like tender babies, in your hands
And the old men playing chinese checkers by the trees

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
