Summer in Maine,
What a pleasant surprise
Each turn in the road
Brings a feast for your eyes
We have mountains and valleys
And cool lakes galore
Beaches and parks
And a long rocky shore
Tour buses will take you
On tours of our City
You only have one week?
Oh, what a pity
Be sure to go out
To Fort Williams park
To see Portland Head Light
Lit up in the dark
And to sit near the ocean
On the fourth of July
While hundreds of fireworks
Light up the sky
Many islands to view
In our great Casco Bay
Tour boats will take you
To see them each day
Drive on to Freeport
It would be wicked keen
To buy a new outfit
From our own L. L. Bean
To add to your trip
What could be finer?
Than a Four Berry Pie
From the famed Moody's Diner
Then go to Lisbon Falls
To make you feel foxy
While you refresh yourself
With an icy cold Moxie
We have hiking and biking
And ski trails so neat
But don't lose your footing
You'll go down on your seat
Don't learn about Maine
From a book on the shelf
Pack a bag, catch a plane
And come see for yourself
