Song for the Temescal Canyon Pool
THIS PARK IS HERE FOR EVERYONE
(To the tune of "THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND" with apologies to Woody Guthrie)
This park is our park, we paid our taxes
We’d like the pool back, despite their axes
They filled the pool up but we won’t shut up
This park is here for everyone
The pool’s a good pool we’d like to use it
We raise our voices so we won’t lose it
From near and far for all who need it
This park was made for everyone
This park had rules and they’ve been broken
It’s for the injured these words are spoken
With canes and walkers and wheelchairs rolling
This park was made for everyone
This park is our park, we paid our taxes
We’d like the pool back, despite their axes
They filled the pool up but we won’t shut up
This park is here for everyone
