"Saturday in the Park" is a song written by Robert Lamm and recorded by the group Chicago for their 1972 album Chicago V, with Lamm on piano and lead vocals. The single version hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's highest-charting single to date and helping lift the album to #1 on the charts.
According to fellow Chicago member Walter Parazaider, Lamm was inspired to write the song after a visit to New York City on July 4, 1971:
- "Robert came back to the hotel from Central Park very excited after seeing the steel drum players, singers, dancers, and jugglers. I said, 'Man, it's time to put music to this!'" [1]
The line "singing Italian songs" is followed by Italian-sounding nonsense words, rendered in the printed lyrics as "?".
