No video (and only one photograph) of Penny, Nick, Ben and Greg's musical performance. But, you can re-live the excitement of the evening by performing the song yourself! Words and music below.
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
