Four Avenues of Service Paul Harris Fellow Almost everyone who is a member of a Rotary club for more than a year knows that Rotary member Newsletter No. 5, Chicago printer Harry Ruggles, brought singing to Rotary meetings. What almost no one knows Photo Album is why, and most don’t know how important it was to the life of Rotary. Calendar Harry Ruggles was a very moral man. He detested off-color language, About Rotary malicious innuendo and classless humor. He argued in club meetings for Becoming A Member clean language. Little more than a year after Rotary had been formed, at an Useful Links evening meeting in 1906, the guest speaker began a story. Having heard it before, Harry also had heard the off-color ending, and felt it was Contact Us inappropriate for the club, so hejumped up in the middle of the joke and Site Map yelled, “Come on boys, let's sing!” He then led the club in the singing of “Let Guest Speaker Me Call You Sweetheart.”

District 6900 Conference This was not only the first time that members had ever sung in Rotary, but apparently, also the first Sporting Clay Event time that a group of businessmen ever sang at a business meeting, anywhere.

SONG FOR FLAG DAY JUNE 14, 2010

The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics By Francis Scott Key 1814

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

God Bless The USA by Lee Greenwood

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4E If tomorrow all the things were gone, I'd worked for all my life. And I had to start again, with just my children and my wife.

I'd thank my lucky stars, to be livin here today. ‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today. ‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA!

CHATTANOOGA SHOE SHINE BOY!

Have you ever passed the corner of 4th and Grand, Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoeshine stand? People gather round and they clap their hands he's a great big bundle of joy. He pops a boogie woogie rag the Chattanooga shoeshine boy!

He charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe. He makes the oldest kind of leather look like new. You feel as though you wanna dance when he gets through. He's a great big bundle of joy. He pops a boogie woogie rag the Chattanooga shoeshine boy!

It's a wonder that the rag don't tear the way he makes it pop. You should see him fan the air with his hoppity hippity hoppity hippity hop hop hop.

He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine. He likes to get 'em early when they're feelin' fine. Everybody gets a little rise and shine with the great big bundle of joy. He pops a boogie woogie rag the Chattanooga shoeshine boy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60HUtTATw8c

On a warm summers evening, on a train bound for nowhere I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns at staring out the window at the darkness. The boredom overtook us and he began to speak.

He said, son I've made a life out of reading people's faces And knowing what the cards were, by the way they held their eyes. So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice.

Chorus: You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away and know when to run You never count your money, when you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done.

My brother took his suitcase and he went away to school. My father said he only learned to be a silly fool. My father said that I should learn to make a chili pot. But then I burned the house down the chili was too hot!

The window it is busted and the rain is coming in. If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin. But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away, And we don't need a window on such a lovely day!

South of the border, down Mexico way. That's where I fell in love when stars above came out to play.

'Twas in Hermosillo, she met me that day. South of the border, down Mexico way.

The mission bells told me we'd marry that day, South of the Border down Mexico way.

Ayay ay ay. Ay ay ay ay. Ay ay ay ay. Ay ay ay ay!

SONG FOR FEBRUARY 1, 2010

I had no idea that South of the Border the people liked the same kind of rock and roll that I do until I heard a song (one of many) played at our reception. I asked Nohemi what the name was and she said "Popotitos." "You know, it's about a girl with very skinny legs." And I said, "You mean, 'Boney Maroney?'" "Yes, that's the one!"

So here, then, is a song (the American version) that was heard at the Fiesta Americana Hotel on the night of January 9, 2010. . .

BONEY MARONEY

(U.S. version by Larry Williams) (Latin version by Enrique Guzman)

I got a girl name of Boney Maroney. -- ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba S h e 's a s ski n n y a s a sti ck o f m a ca ro n i -- ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MWN_duZfIs&feature=related

Take one fresh and tender kiss. Add one stolen night of bliss. One girl, one boy, Some grief, some joy. Memories are made of this.

Don't forget a small moonbeam. Fold in lightly with a dream. Your lips and mine, Two sips of wine. Memories are made of this.

Then add the wedding bells. One house where lovers dwell. Three little kids for flavor. Stir carefully through the days. See how the flavor stays. These are the dreams you will savor.

With His blessings from above, Serve it generously with love. One man, one wife, One love through life. Memories are made of this. Memories are made of this .

JINGLE BELLS!

Fats Domino's version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKpihFvJpY8

A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride. And soon Miss Fanny Bright, Was seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank. Misfortune seemed his lot. We got into a drifted bank And we, we got up sot.

Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. .Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh.

and Brenda Lee's original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3vhIKdcowM&feature=related

Rocking around the Christmas Tree at the Christmas party hop. Mistletoe hung where you can see Ev'ry couple tries to stop. Rocking around the Christmas Tree Let the Christmas Spirit ring. Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing "Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly"

Rocking around the Christmas Tree Have a happy holiday. Everyone's dancing merrily In a new old fashioned way.

REPEAT LAST 4 LINES.

Over the River and Through the Woods

Over the river and thru the wood, To grandfather's house we go; The horse knows the way To carry the sleigh, Thru the white and drifted snow, oh! Over the river and thru the wood, Oh, how the wind does blow! It stings the toes, And bites the nose, As over the ground we go.

Over the river and thru the wood, To have a first-rate play; Oh, hear the bell ring, "Ting-a-ling-ling!" Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day-ay! Over the river and thru the wood, Trot fast my dapple gray! Spring over the ground, Like a hunting hound! For this is Thanksgiving Day.

Well he came down to earth and lit in a tree. I said Mr. Purple People Eater don't eat me. I heard him say in a voice so gruff, I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough.

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flying purple people eater. Pidgeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater. One-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater what a sight to see.

And then he went on his way, and then what do you know. I saw him last night on a TV show. He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head!

They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam. It really brought him down because he could not jam. The captain seemed to understand, Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted a band. And now the company jumps when he plays reveille.

Many men came here as soldiers. Many men will pass this way. Many men will count the hours, As they live the longest day.

Many men are tired and weary. Many men are here to stay. Many men won't see the sunset, When it ends the longest day.

Many men, the mighty thousands, Many men to victory, Marching on right into battle, In the longest day in history!

They took the blue from the skies and a pretty girl's eyes and a touch of Old Glory's hue, And gave it to the men who proudly wear the U.S. Air Force blue!

They know where they're goin', they've set their course, the sky's no limit in the Air Force.

Off we go into the wild blue yonder climbing high into the sun. Here they come zooming to meet our thunder. At a boy, give 'er the gun.

Down we dive spouting our flames from under. Up with one, helluva roar! We live in fame or go down in flame. Nothing will stop the U.S. Air Force!

Song of the Week: 05-11-09 IN THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY

While walking through the park one day, All in the merry month of May. I was taken by surprise by a pair of roguish eyes. In a moment my poor heart was stole away.

A smile was all she gave to me. We were as happy as could be.

I immediately tipped my hat. And finally she remarked. Oh I never will forget that lovely afternoon When I met her at the fountain in the park.

SONG OF THE WEEK MAY 4, 2009

South of the Border

South of the border, down Mexico way. That's where I fell in love where stars above, came out to play. And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray. South of the border, down Mexico way.

She was a picture, in old Spanish lace. Just for a tender while I kissed the smile, upon her face. For it was fiesta, and we were so gay, South of the border, down Mexico way.

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

Then she sighed as she whispered manana, never dreaming that we were parting. And I lied as I whispered manana, for our tomorrow never c ame.

South of the border, I rode back one day. There in a veil of white by candlelight, she knelt to pray. T he mis s io n be lls t o ld me , t ha t I mus t n’t s t a y . South of the border, down Mexico way.

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay) rotaryfayettevillega.com/SongoftheWe… 20/52 7/11/2010 Fayetteville GA Rotary - Song of the W… Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

My Grandfather's Clock

Written By: Henry Clay Work, Copyright Unknown

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txsa97oIi_c

My grandfather's clock Was too large for the shelf, So it stood ninety years on the floor; It was taller by half Than the old man himself, Though it weighed not a pennyweight more. It was bought on the morn Of the day that he was born, It was always his treasure and pride; But it stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died.

CHORUS: Ninety years without slumbering, Tick, tock, tick, tock, His life seconds numbering, Tick, tock, tick, tock, It stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died.

It rang an alarm In the dead of the night, An alarm that for years had been dumb; And we knew that his spirit Was pluming his flight, That his hour of departure had come. Still the clock kept the time, rotaryfayettevillega.com/SongoftheWe… 21/52 7/11/2010 Fayetteville GA Rotary - Song of the W… With a soft and muffled chime, As we silently stood by his side. But it stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died.

The TAX Thing! ======words by Paul C. Oddo, Jr.

As I was walking out the door rotaryfayettevillega.com/SongoftheWe… 22/52 7/11/2010 Fayetteville GA Rotary - Song of the W… of my CPA, I realized that my tax returns were due most any day. I pulled them out and opened them up and much to my surprise...

Oh I discovered a (clap, clap, clap) right before my eyes! Oh I discovered a (clap, clap, clap) right before my eyes!

I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet, A hobo who was looking for a handout on the street. He said he'd take most any old thing. He was a desperate man...

But when I showed him my tax return he turned around and ran! But when I showed him my tax return he turned around and ran!

The moral of my story's when you see your CPA, And he gives you your tax return and says you have to pay. Remember that he's also in the same darned boat as you...

So just pay your tax and take a drink That's my advice to you., 'Cause we'll never get rid of that (clap, clap, clap) No matter what we do!!!!

DOWNTOWN

When you're alone And life is making you lonely, You can always go downtown. When you've got worries, All the noise and the hurry Seems to help, I know, downtown.

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city. Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty. How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there. You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go Downtown, things'll be great when you're Downtown, no finer place for sure, Downtown, everything's waiting for you. (Downtown) rotaryfayettevillega.com/SongoftheWe… 23/52 7/11/2010 Fayetteville GA Rotary - Song of the W… Don't hang around And let your problems surround you There are movie shows downtown. Maybe you know Some little places to go to Where they never close downtown.

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova,. You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over Happy again.

The lights are much brighter there. You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go Downtown, where all the lights are bright, Downtown, waiting for you tonight, Downtown, you're gonna be alright now.

Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White

Original French words by Jacques Larue English words by Mack David, Music by Louiguy Instrumental version by Perez "Prez" Prado

It's cherry pink and apple blossom white When your true lover comes your way. It's cherry pink and apple blossom white The poets say.

The story goes that once a cherry tree Beside an apple tree did grow. And there a boy once met his bride to be Long long ago.

The boy looked into her eyes, it was a sight to enthrall The breezes joined in their sighs, the blossoms started to fall And as they gently carressed, the lovers looked up to find The branches of the two trees were intertwined..

And that is why the poets always write If there's a new moon bright above. It's cherry pink and apple blossom white When you're in love.

Istanbul ======Istanbul was Constantinople , Now it's Istanbul , not Constantinople . Been a long time gone, Constantinople . Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night.

Every gal in Constantinople , Lives in Istanbul , not Constantinople . So if you've a date in Constantinople , She'll be waiting in Istanbul .

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam . Why they changed it I can't say. People just liked it better that way!

So take me back to Constantinople . No, you can't go back to Constantinople . Been a long time gone, Constantinople . Why did Constantinople get the works? That's no body's business but the Turks.

Song for December 22, 2008 Jingle Bells ======

Dashing through the snow, In a one horse open sleigh. O'er the fields we go, Laughing all the way. Bells on bob tails ring, Making spirits bright. What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight!

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh! Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side. The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seemed his lot. We got into a drifted bank And then we got upsot.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh! Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go; Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again, With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Toys in ev'ry store. But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen; And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go; There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing Right within your heart.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOOD

Over the river, and through the wood, To Grandmother's house we go; The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river, and through the wood - Oh, how the wind does blow! It stings the toes and bites the nose As over the ground we go.

Over the river, and through the wood, To have a first-rate play. Hear the bells ring, "Ting-a-ling-ding", Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river, and through the wood Trot fast, my dapple-gray! Spring over the ground like a hunting-hound, For this is Thanksgiving Day.

"Over the River and Through the Woods" is a song written by Lydia Maria Child in 1844. It celebrates her childhood memories of visiting her Grandfather's House. It is sometimes alternated with lines about Christmas, rather than Thanksgiving. LISTEN HERE --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtsn8zfwQT0

I know every engineer on every train All of their children, and all of their names And every handout in every town And every lock that ain't locked When no one's around.

Be sure it's true when you say "I love you." It's a sin to tell a lie. Millions of hearts have been broken, Just because these words were spoken.

I love you, Yes I do. I love you. If you break my heart I'll die. So be sure that it's true when you say "I love you." It'a sin to tell a lie.

Well I called my congressman and he said Quote: "I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote". Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do, But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

SONG OF THE WEEK AUGUST _18____

Palisades Park Lyrics Freddy Cannon -

Last night I took a walk after dark. A swingin' place called Palisades Park To have some fun and see what I could see. That's where the girls are.

I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute. That girl I sat beside was awful cute. And when it stopped she was holdin' hands with me.

My heart was flyin' up like a rocket ship, Down like a roller coaster, Back like a loop-the-loop, And around like a merry-go-round,

We ate and ate at a hot dog stand. We danced around to a rockin' band. And when I could, I gave that girl a hug, In the tunnel of love.

You'll never know how great a kiss can feel, Till you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel. When I fell in love down at Palisades Park.

Down at Palisades Park

FADE You know it's Palisades Park Down at Palisades Park

SONG OF THE WEEK AUGUST _11_

"Secret Agent Man" rotaryfayettevillega.com/SongoftheWe… 36/52 7/11/2010 Fayetteville GA Rotary - Song of the W… artist: Johnny Rivers, 1966

There's a man who leads a life of danger. To everyone he meets he stays a stranger. With every move he makes, another chance he takes. Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret agent man, secret agent man, They've given you a number and taken away your name.

Beware of pretty faces that you find. A pretty face can hide an evil mind. Ah, be careful what you say, Or you'll give yourself away. Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret agent man, secret agent man, They've given you a number and taken away your name.

The Free Credit Report . COM Jingle

Well they say a man should always dress for the job he wants. So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant ? It's all because some hacker stole my identity. Now I'm in here every evening serving chowder and ice tea.

Shoulda gone to free credit report dot com. I coulda seen this comin' at me like an atom bomb. They monitor your credit and send you e-mail alerts, So you don't end up selling fish to tourists in t shirts.

IS IT TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT DIXIE?

Is it true what they say about Dixie? Does the sun really shine all the time? Do the sweet magnolias blossom at everybody's door? Do the folks keep eating possum til they can't eat no more?

Is it true what they say about Swannee? Is a dream by the stream so sublime? Do they laugh do they love like they say in every song? If it's true that's where I belong! rotaryfayettevillega.com/SongoftheWe… 37/52 7/11/2010 Fayetteville GA Rotary - Song of the W…

LAZY, HAZY, CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER artist: Nat King Cole -peak billboard position # 6 in 1963 -words by Charles Tobias and music by Hans Carste

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, Those days of soda and pretzels and beer. Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer.

Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies, Then lock the house up, now you're set. And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis, As cute as ever but they never get em wet.

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, Those days of soda and pretzels and beer. Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. You'll wish that summer could always be here.

Youll wish that summer could always be here. Youll wish that summer could always be here.

On The Road Again

On the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again Goin' places that I've never been. Seein' things that I may never see again, And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway. We're the best of friends Insisting that the world be turnin' our way. And our way,

Is on the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is makin' music with my friends, And I can't wait to get on the road again.

Yes, I can't wait to get on the road again.

IN THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY

While walking through the park one day, All in the merry month of May. I was taken by surprise by a pair of roguish eyes. In a moment my poor heart was stole away.

A smile was all she gave to me. We were as happy as could be.

I immediately tipped my hat. And finally she remarked. Oh I never will forget that lovely afternoon When I met her at the fountain in the park.

The TAX Thing! ======words by Paul C. Oddo, Jr.

As I was walking out the door of my CPA, I realized that my tax returns were due most any day. I pulled them out and opened them up and much to my surprise...

Oh I discovered a (clap, clap, clap) right before my eyes! Oh I discovered a (clap, clap, clap) right before my eyes!

I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet, A hobo who was looking for a handout on the street. rotaryfayettevillega.com/SongoftheWe… 41/52 7/11/2010 Fayetteville GA Rotary - Song of the W… He said he'd take most any old thing. He was a desperate man...

But when I showed him my tax return he turned around and ran! But when I showed him my tax return he turned around and ran!

The moral of my story's when you see your CPA, And he gives you your tax return and says you have to pay. Remember that he's also in the same darned boat as you...

So just pay your tax and take a drink That's my advice to you., 'Cause we'll never get rid of that (clap, clap, clap) No matter what we do!!!!

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS artist: Dean Martin (1955)

Take one fresh and tender kiss. Add one stolen night of bliss. One girl, one boy, Some grief, some joy, Memories are made of this.

Don't forget a small moonbeam. Fold in lightly with a dream. Your lips and mine, Two sips of wine, rotaryfayettevillega.com/SongoftheWe… 42/52 7/11/2010 Fayetteville GA Rotary - Song of the W… Memories are made of this.

Then add the wedding bells, One house where lovers dwell, Three little kids for the flavor. Stir carefully through the days. See how the flavor stays. These are the dreams you will savor.

With His blessings from above, Serve it generously with love. One man, one wife, One love through life. Memories are made of this. Memories are made of this.

ISTANBUL

Istanbul was Constantinople. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople. Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night.

Every gal in Constantinople, Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople. So if you've a date in Constantinople, She'll be waiting in Istanbul.

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can't say. People just liked it better that way.

So take me back to Constantinople. No, you can't go back to Constantinople. Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks.

I’ll have a blue Christmas without you. I’ll be so blue just thinking about you. Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree, Won’t be the same dear, if you’re not here with me.

And when those blue snowflakes start falling, That’s when those blue memories start calling. You’ll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white, But I’ll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas

Yes I’ll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS! BY: Perry Como and the Fontane Sisters

Words and Music by Meredith Willson, 1951 Recorded at Manhattan Center, New York City

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go. Take a look in the five-and-ten, Glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in ev'ry store. But the prettiest sight to see Is the holly that will be On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben. Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen. And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, On in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Soon the bells will start And the thing that will make them ring Is the carol that you sing Right within your heart.
