'BAY CITY IS SECOND TO NONE'
Would you live in a city of gladness
Where the streets are with nature adorned?
Where the look of the town quickly chases the frown,
Where the knocker is fittingly scorned?
Where the future is filled full of promise,
Where we all pull together as one?
Then Bay City's the place for the best of the race.
Bay is second to none.
Refrain:
Then come on, let your song fill the breezes,
Sing it out in the old-fashioned style.
Till the small and the great
Ev'ry where in the state,
Learn the worth of the Bay City smile.
Would you live where the living is pleasant,
Where the hearts of the old folks are young?
Where the challenge of youth and the love of the truth
But reveal what the ancients have sung?
Would you live where the day brightens early
And the smile does not fade with the sun?
Then this is the place for your talent and grace,
Bay City is second to none!
(Repeat refrain)
People wonder why I don't want to live there...
