Name: Bagels in Bangor
Duration: P00H05M10S
Description: Rocket Park discovers the wordless nonsense vocal, the repeat-as-necessary singalong chorus, and the cheesy applaud-your-own-song ending. How can it fail? I spend about 10 minutes explaining the story behind this song at every show. Basically it's a song about love, the beautiful state of Maine and really excellent bagels.

Rocket Park discovers the wordless nonsense vocal, the repeat-as-necessary singalong chorus, and the cheesy applaud-your-own-song ending. How can it fail? I spend about 10 minutes explaining the story behind this song at every show. Basically it's a song about love, the beautiful state of Maine and really excellent bagels.

lyrics

Making love in a shack by the shore on a full moon night
Skipping stones ‘til they fall off the edge of the world
Watch the gulls wheel and glide overhead at the end of day
A convertible trip with a beautiful girl

Something’s gotta give ‘cos I’ve got no time to live
And I think I’ll go insane if I don’t get myself back to Maine
Doo doo doo (etc.)
I want to eat bagels in Bangor with you

Little towns that were founded in Benjamin Franklin’s day
Little lighthouses perched on their rock lofty peaks
Buy a novel to read on the beach as the sun goes down
While the loons on the water snatch life in their beaks

It may sound like a whim bound to slip from a fickle mind
It may sound like impossible pipe dreams deferred
But it’s good for my body and twice as good for my soul
And I’ll be on the next plane if you say the word
