Post #8 Oh When the Chief Retires in June- June 2011

Upcoming in the june 16th meeting.... will be accompanied by Kazoos and harmonica...maybe even everybody will be up and marching in line....we'll see.

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!)
