Lyrics

  1. Whose name do the people shout?
    Who’s the boy we’re wild about?
    Who’s the wonder of the day?
    Who’s the Ace of the U. S. A?

Chorus:
Lindy, Lindy, youth with the heart of gold
Lindy, Lindy, spirit so bold
Others talks about tryin’
You just stuck to plain flyin’
Till you flew straight through the blue
So here’s our hand to you

  1. Who’s the lad we all acclaim?
    Who’s the boy that soared to fame?
    Modest, brave, with heart so true
    Lindy flew on to dare and do
