Welcome to Delphi, Welcome to America
Welcome to America
In my hometown
Where the latch-string’s always out
Whenever you’re around.
The water’s all inviting
On the old Canal
Which brought all sorts of people
And goods, you know, you pal!
The trails are always open
To hike or tromp around
Regardless of the snow or leaves
Which cover all the ground.
There’s history here for viewing
And homes, both old and new
For living in and looking at
Ah—how grand’s the view.
There are churches here to worship in
The Glorious God above
Who came to earth on Christmas,
That all may know His love.
Come dine with us in restaurants
Both foreign and domestic
To satisfy your palate,
With cuisine so eclectic.
So come see the City Beautiful
We’ve got something old and something new
For each and every visitor—
Maybe that’ll be you!
