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
