College Park

Lyrics

[Intro — instrumental only, no vocals]
[a school bell rings and metal lockers slam; the beat builds]
[Instrumental build — still no singing, let the groove settle in]
[Instrumental — the bell and the strings carry it alone]

[Verse 1 — vocals enter at last]
Last stop before the runway roar,
a college name on the southern door;
ring the bell, slam the locker tight,
College Park studying through the night.

[Chorus]
College Park, College Park, bell and slam,
the schoolhouse beat of the gateway land;
ring, ring, ring, let the lesson start,
the studious stop with the airport heart.

[Verse 2]
Woodward halls and the convention floor,
the gateway city standing tall and more;
every bell a class, every class a door,
College Park learning a little more.

[Chorus]
College Park, College Park, bell and slam,
the schoolhouse beat of the gateway land;
ring, ring, ring, let the lesson start,
the studious stop with the airport heart.

[Outro — vocals stop here]
[Instrumental — the school bell rides out alone, no more singing]
[Long instrumental outro — the groove fades slowly all the way down to silence]
