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
If you'd like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant occupation
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
O-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon
Is a-comin' down the street,
Oh please let it be for me!
O-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon
Is a-comin' down the street,
I wish I knew what it could be
I got a box of maple sugar for my birthday
In March I got a gray mackinaw
And once I got some grapefruit from Tampa
Montgomery Ward sent me a bathtub
And a cross-cut saw
The Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin' now
Is it a prepaid surprise or C.O.D.
It could be curtains, or dishes, or a double boiler
Or it could be somethin' special just for me!
O-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon
Is a-comin' down the street
Don't let him pass my door!
O-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon
Is a-comin' down the street
I wish I knew what he was comin' for
I got some salmon from Seattle last September
And I expect a new rocking chair
I hope I get my raisins from Fresno
The D.A.R. have sent a cannon
For the courthouse square
The Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin' now
I don't know how I'll ever wait to see
It could be somethin' for someone
Who is no relation
But it could be somethin' special just for me!
Could be somethin' special just for me!
