R I T Z

To the tune of YMCA (For ‘Stragnells’ read Fam’ly!)

Stragnells, though we’re spread far and wide
There’s a great place to which we’re all tied
We share mem’ries of a lake blue and wide
Where the woods ring out with laughter

Lake George, you’re the queen of your kind
More perfection, it would be hard to find
We’ve had endless, sunshine-filled, happy days
In your wa-arm, crys-tal waters

Bom bom bom bom bom

It’s fun to stay at the R-I-T-Z
It’s fun to stay at the R-I-T-Z
We all have a good time
Drink a little red wine
Sauna, hang out and eat like kings

Repeat chorus

Grampa, from your chair by the door
You said “Coffee, can you get me some more”
And then “Dinner, do we all know the score?
Do we need to-o go shopping?”

Granma, back when we were all young
You made certain that we kept on the run
You said “Twigging -  is a whole lot of fun”
We cried “Oh no! No more twigging!”

Bom bom bom bom bom

It’s fun to stay at the R-I-T-Z
It’s fun to stay at the R-I-T-Z
We all have a good time
Drink a lot of red wine
Sauna, hang out and eat like kings

Repeat chorus

Ski, swim, sunbathe out on the dock
Take a walk, talk, or just read a book
Find some helpmates when it’s your day to cook
And you’ll ne-ver be lo-onely

Stragnells, when you’re no longer here
Feeling low and, in need of good cheer
Just think ‘Lake George’ and your spirits will soar
And you’ll feel so-o much better

Bom bom bom bom bom

It’s fun to stay at the R-I-T-Z
It’s fun to see lots of T-I-T-Z
We all have a good time, drinking gallons of wine
Sauna, hang out and eat some more....

It’s fun to stay at the RITZ
It’s fun to have a big F-A-R-T
We all have a good time, drinking gallons of wine
Sauna, hang out and eat some more....
