Well it's a nickel for the fiddler, It's a nickel for his tune
C F G
It's a nickel for the tambourine kind of afternoon
F G C F
And it's a high holiday on the 21st of June
C F G C
And it's country music in the park and everybody's ruined
[Instrumental break]

F G C F
Well it's fountains full of dogs and kids and it's freaky apple pie
C F G
And it's the ones who came to play and the ones just passin' by
F G C F
And it’s coats of many colors and it almost makes me cry
C F G C
Lord it's ice cream on a stick and it's somethin' you can't buy.

Well, it's a fiddler from Kentucky who swears he's 83
C F G
And he's fiddled every contest from here to cripple creek
F G C F
And it's old ones and it's young ones and it's plain they half agreed
C F G C
But it's country music in the park as far as they can see
[Instrumental break]
