Long Live The Lakes
Long Live the Lakes
Should this city crumble and burn
May the river swallow us whole
With each drop a thousand turns
Long live the lakes
Every car on john nolen drive
May sink beneath mononas skin
A quarter million people take a dive
Long live the lakes
And the people of the big voice
May a new republic rise forth
And may every worker make their choice
Long live the lakes
Long live the trees and flowers
Long live the mighty heron and humble duck
Long live the songbirds singing away the hours
Long live the lakes
May the capitol fall to ruins
Let the capitalists drown too
May every politician choke on their own pollution
Long live the lakes
Mendota’s canoes may float forever
Waubesa's highway may shrink and wither
Kegonsa’s lilies may bloom together
Long live the lakes
Wingra's springs may be reborn
Bubble up clearly, pure forevermore
Shall gentle feet make path stones worn
Long live the lakes
May they freeze every winter
Snow piling higher with each dark day
May their melting herald the summer
Long live the lakes
Their thousands of histories
May I spend my moments near them
And may they long outlive me
