nice municipal park,
not too big and yet not too small.
Yes, it was given by the king
on his birthday last year
and there are no regulations at all.
What a rare municipal park.
You can walk on the grass,
you can picnic anywhere.
When you ride on the switchback,
no one ever takes your fare.
And if you're fond of swimming,
there's a pool over there,
where you can go in absolutely stock.
What a nice municipal park.
If a lover of flowers,
you can pluck them at your ease.
In the zoo,
you can feed the monkeys
anything you please.
And if you find it fun to play
a fool beneath the trees,
you don't even have to
wait until it's dark.
What a swell municipal park!
What a nice muni cipal park!
What a rare municipal park!
When a city ordinance
will steal your chances
when you feel the need of a lark,
what a kindly king he must be.
What a most unselfish monarch,
who instead of building castles
gives his vas sals
such a nice municipal park,
such a swell municipal park.
