The lyric's have been updated and shown below - now you can print these out and practice at home, in the shower, in bed, at the top of Mt Taylor, or wherever you want to!
Verse 1
"We are the folks from St Johns Club
We're just on 12 years old
And this year's project is calendars
We have nearly got them sold
Trips to Rangitoto, Yachting, Art and Tamaki Trust
And boy our breakfasts are a must
St Johns Club, it's mostly Rotary, but not totally…….
Verse 2
We are the folks from St Johns Club
Now nearly 33 years old
Youth is our passion –
inspiring these kids for gold
Through camps, and have a go sailing,
Dictionaries, and resources to help with their schooling,
St Johns Club, it's mostly Rotary, but not totally.
Verse 3
Slowed but not stopped by Covid,
we fed our minds through Zooms
and plotted projects a plenty –
foodbank packing and collections -enough to fill some rooms
And now its time to reconnect, because out club is friendly
Breakfast again, Some dinners too with food and fun aplenty
St Johns Club, it's mostly Rotary, but not totally…….
Verse 4
We are the folks from St Johns Club
Talented as you see!
We’re almost irreverent that’s our charm as
all we members can be!
New DG Allan is from our Club and we will back him fully
with his lovely wife Sue we are in for a good year truely
St Johns Club, it's mostly Rotary, but not totally……
