Providence
A Renaissance City

Ron Bianco

There is a city on the east coast of the USA
It’s a renaissance town in its own special way.
It’s got an East side, West side, South and North, of course.
A Federal Hill, a Smith Hill, and a College Hill.
It’s the capitol city of Rhode Island.
There’s Providence College an’ Johnson & Wales
Rhode Island School of Design . . . An’ Brown University !
We say ‘cah’ and ‘bah’ and the young say
‘Whassup’ , ‘Just chillin’ , and ‘Latah’ ,
An’ ‘You know what I’m sayin’ .
There’s Big Nazo puppets, an’ Roomful of Blues,
AS220, and our very own band providence ! Waterfire !
Would you believe we’ve got a cop who dances in the street
And there’s Danoe the clown, an auguste-face clown,
Who got all the kids juggling in his neighborhood.
We got Waterplace Park with rivers and gondolas.
Can you imagine we got gondolas ?
And carriages being drawn by the horse.
And them trolley cars with no cables
Bring us back to times of fables.
Yeah ! it’s a renaissance city !
It’s a renaissance city !
It’s a renaissance city !
