Lyrics: Aaron Weaver

[spoken]
Many know about the Great Lake Sacandaga Reservoir in Northville, but few know about the original Sacandaga Lake in Lake Pleasant.
[chorus]
We got the real lake!
the real lake! [repeat]
the real lake! [repeat]
Lake Sacandaga.
the real lake! [repeat]
the real lake! [repeat]
Not the fake lake!
reservoir.

[verse1]
Mohawks called it Bears Paw,
Where the loons make their call,
From it came a flying head,
That's what captain Gill said.

[verse2]
First white folks called it Round Lake,
But others said that's a mistake,
So, they changed the name on the maps,
It's Sacandaga and that's a wrap.

[verse3]
If looking for a relaxing retreat,
Try the State Camp, Moffet Beach,
The lake itself is quite nice,
Explore the lake is my advice.

[verse4]
So, when you mention our lake's name,
Please be clear to explain,
Folks only think of that manmade drip.
Tell them, "No! The other I'm taking a dip."
