Intro/Opening
Come on down to Webster, Massachusetts...
I’ve got a name for you to try!
Verse 1
In Webster, Massachusetts, there’s a lake so grand,
With a name so long, you’ll need a steady hand.
Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg,
Say it once, and you’re a wordplay demigod!
Chorus
Oh, Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg,
Where the waters meet, and stories are sung.
A place to fish, a place to play,
In Webster’s heart, you’ll wanna stay.
Verse 2
From the Nipmuc people, the name was born,
A meeting place where no sides were torn.
“Fishing Place at the Boundaries,” they would say,
In peaceful waters, we’d spend our day.
Chorus
Oh, Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg,
Where the waters meet, and stories are sung.
A place to fish, a place to play,
In Webster’s heart, you’ll wanna stay.
Bridge
Surface spreads to one thousand two hundred seventy-nine acres wide,
Average depth is fifteen feet, where fish might hide.
Forty-nine feet deep at the secret well,
In the longest-named lake, there’s a tale to tell.
Some folks joke, with a smile they make,
“You fish your side, I fish my side, nobody fishes in the middle of the lake.”
Chorus
Oh, Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg,
Where the waters meet, and stories are sung.
A place to fish, a place to play,
In Webster’s heart, you’ll wanna stay.
Outro
So come on down to Webster’s shore,
Where the name is long, but you’ll love it more.
Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg,
The place you’ll always adore.
