Here are the words to the song lyrics written by Mary K. Mason Middlekoop and sung by committee

To The Tune of "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"

Boys In Blue-Girls In Red-All Together In Black

WE WERE IN OUR PRIME AND FEELING FINE

OUR BODIES LEAN AND SLEEK

IT ONLY TOOK A CERTAIN LOOK

AND GIRLS FELL AT OUR FEET

WE WERE MACHO MEN AND SUPERMEN

ALL ROLLED UP NICE AND NEAT

IN 1962

WE WERE YOUNG AND SWEET OUR HAIR WAS NEAT

OUR FIGURES NICE AND TRIM

OUR HEMS WOULD FALL BELOW OUR KNEES

IT WAS THE RULE BACK THEN

DATING WAS PERMITTED

BUT YOU'D BETTER BE HOME BY TEN

IN 1962

OH THE FUN WE HAD TOGETHER

50 YEARS HAVE PAST, HOWEVER

THE MEMORIES WILL LAST FOREVER

OF 1962

WE PLAYED FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL

AND EVEN WENT TO STATE

WE WERE CHORUS GIRLS AND MERMAIDS

AND WE THOUGHT WE WERE GREAT

THERE WAS ORCHESTRA AND MANY CLUBS

A BAND THAT WAS FIRST RATE

IN 1962

WE SCOOPED THE LOOP ALL IN A GROUP

ON MANY SUMMER NIGHTS

LILLIE MAY'S AND ZENO'S

WOULD FILL OUR APPETITES

THE OLD PARK POOL WAS REALLY COOL

AND WAS A FAVORITE SITE

IN 1962

               OH THE FUN WE HAD TOGETHER

                50 YEARS HAVE PAST, HOWEVER

                THE MEMORIES WILL LAST FOREVER

                HOORAY FOR THE RED AND BLUE

NOW---OUR EYES ARE WEAK

OUR JOINTS ALL CREAK

OUR HAIR IS GETTING THIN

EACH NIGHT WE WAKE TO URINATE

THEN URINATE AGAIN

OUR WAISTS EXPAND LIKE RUBBERBANDS

OUR MEMORY'S GETTING DIM

AND TIME KEEPS MARCHING ON

 

BUT WE'RE NOT THROUGH WE'VE  THINGS TO DO

AND PLACES YET TO SEE

WE'VE GOT THE TIME

SO LETS GET GOING

KEEP MOVING FORWARDLY

THE FUTURE IS A MYSTERY

AND WE ALL HOLD THE KEY

HOORAY FOR YOU AND ME!

SO--LETS HAVE A CELEBRATION

AFTER YEARS OF SEPARATION

WE'RE NOT READY FOR STAGNATION

WE'RE ALL JUST GLAD WE'RE HERE!!!!
