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"

Now 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
