You’re Turning 50

(To the tune of “My Way”)

And now . . . the day is here;
You have to face . . . . the big pronouncement
Dear friend . . . . let’s make it clear,
There’s no esca . . . . ping Barb’s announcement

She prints . . . . them up each morn
And posts them on . . . . the office doorway
There’s no . . . . escaping no –
-ting Andy’s birthday

Regrets . . . . you’ve had a few;
But most of them . . . . are fleeting
Except . . . . . the ones that come
While sitting in . . . . . a chairmen’s meeting

For then . . . . . the clock ticks slow
When Bloomer says . . . . you must be thrifty,
But nev . . . ermind it now
You’re turning fif . . . . ty

Yes, there are times . . . . we know you know
The work is hard . . . . the pay too low
And through it all . . . . you persevered,
We lost Shing Ho . . . . . who disappeared
You lead us now . . . . so we avow
Congrats you’re fifty!!!!!!!
