You take a bus marked "Lakewood Drive" And you keep on ridin' till you're out of the city Where the air is fine with the sweet smellin' pine And the countryside's pretty And you'll see daffodils peepin' (daffodils) over the hills Or a honey lovin' mama bear Just take a left at the bridge Go down to Quakerforn Ridge And in a minute you're there Indian Lake is a scene You should make with your little one Just keep it in mind if you're lookin' to find A place in the summer sun Well, you can swim in the cove have a snack in the grove Or you can rent a canoe (you can rent a canoe) At Indian Lake you'll be able to make The way the Indians do Everybody go Indian Lake is a scene You should make with your little one Just keep it in mind if you're lookin' to find A place in the summer sun Well, you can swim swim in the cove, have a snack in the grove Or you can rent a canoe (you can rent a canoe) At Indian Lake you'll be able to make The way the Indians do Everybody go Indian Lake is a scene You should make with your little one Just keep it in mind if you're lookin' to find A place in the summer sun Well, you can swim in the cove, have a snack in the grove Or you can rent a canoe (you can rent a canoe) At Indian Lake you'll be able to make The way the Indians do Indian Lake is a scene
