upcoming for the september GW senior club mtg:
A tribute to Garwood, One Heck of a Town from the GW Senior’s Club
They’ll be a Hot Time in Garwood Tonite
Sung to the tune of “Hot Time in the Ol’ Town Tonight”– ragtime music by Ted Metz, 1896
Rewritten Lyrics by Bruce Paterson, Garwood, NJ 6/14 /11
(intro music by Gene)Oh, Out from
Chinchar’s bar, the laughing can be heard
And from Mister B’s, the chirping of the birds
And Down from Old St Paul’s, there comes the spoken word
There’ll be a hot time in Garwood tonight!
At all our
Laundromats, the tumbling of the clothes
And there at Starry Night, it’s dancing toe to toe
And go to Home Depot, its better than a Lowe’s
There’ll be a hot time in Garwood tonight!
(Harmonica and kazoo interlude…….)
Head off to
Frosty Freeze and get a chocolate shake
Or to the Sugar Shack, and buy some tasty cake
And go to Robert’s Grille and order up a steak
There’ll be a hot time in Garwood tonight!
Well, Here in
Ol’ Garwood, no excitement do we lack
If it’s just too darn much, it can give you an attack
Still we can all sit back, and feel oh so relaxed
There’ll be a hot time in Garwood tonight! (repeat)
There’ll be a hot time in Garwood tonight!
hey, we are all getting old. Embrace the days.

A tribute to Chief Legg from the Garwood Senior’s Club
When The Chief, Retires in June
Sung to the tune of “The Saints go Marching in” (Oh when those saints go marching in!)– music by “unknown American gospel
Lyrics by Bruce Paterson, Garwood, NJ 5/5/11
Oh when the Chief, retires in June
Police Chief Legg is leaving soon
For 32 years he served this boro
And that is why we sing this tune.
So to the Chief, we bid farewell
The job you did was really swell.
You sure deserve this long vacation
So you can finally rest a spell.
(Kazoo and harmonica interlude)…………
(All get up to sing this last stanza)
So when the Chief,
..........(Echo) So when the Chief,
Retires in June,
..........(Echo) Retires in June,
The Good Chief Legg is leaving soon
For 32 years he served this boro
And that is why we sing this tune.
(repeat last stanza if we have the energy!)

Post #7 Mother May 2011
In the first meeting of May, the club sang a tribute to all the mom's in the club and everywhere else. As an aside when Kris and I took my mom and the family out to the Lighthouse restaurant in Jackson we brought copies of the song, passed them out to all the tables in the restaurant and everyone in the restaurant sang to thier mom, including the owner, the waitresses and the chef.
A tribute to Moms Everywhere from the Garwood Senior’s Club
M-O-T-H-E-R
~ Lyrics by Howard Johnson and music by Theodore Morse ~
1915
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.....................
