Background: the winter of 2010/2011 was one on the worst in recent history, something like total of 10 feet of snow fell in around 7 snow falls. The DPW was there everytime and did a great job, really! It was only fitting to have the seniors sing a song of tribute. We invited the DPW crew to attend the seniors meeting thursday 2/24/11, 5 men showed up and the club, along with the new Mayor who dropped by, sang our hearts out.
A singing tribute to the DPW boys from the Garwood Senior’s Club:
The DPW March
Sung to the tune of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” (Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord)
Lyrics by Bruce Paterson, Garwood, NJ 2/12/11
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the plow.
They have pushed away the snowdrifts, made the streets quite clear somehow.
Oh! I can back my car out, and go food-shopping right now
We have those boys to thank!
Glory! Glory! D. P. W.
Thanks to Fred and Jeff’s hard working crew
Bills, Pete, Lenny, Glen and Richie too.
Give Thanks for all they do.
(2nd verse)
(*Just Patsy sings) The underpass at Center Street, one icy mess that night
(*Bruce sings) The Public Works showed up in force and cleaned that icy site.
(*Hank sings) And Mother Nature cowers back from their united might.
(*ALL sing) We have those boys to thank!
Glory! Glory! D. P. W.
Thanks to Fred and Jeff’s hard working crew
Bills, Pete, Lenny, Glen and Richie too.
Give Thanks for all they do.
