During our visit in July, Debbie, Judy, Z, Tammy, and Karen got together and wrote this song that is sung to the Brady Bunch tune. We got up in front of Mom and Dad and sang to them like the kids (at heart) that we are.
This is Our Infamous
Here's a story of a lovely lady, who was working as a waitress in this town,
She had brown hair and eyes that twinkle, and a smile so rare.
Here's a story of a man named Frank, who was changing records on the jukebox
there, He was handsome and oh so friendly, and oh the stories he could tell.
Then one day, while they were working, he decided to ask her for a date.
She giggled and then she smiled, and said we can't be late.
Then one day in the summer, they got married and moved out on their own.
They were poor then, but they were happy 'cause they were not alone.
In a few years there were half a dozen youngens--each one as crazy as could be. We were one big happy family--
that's the way we all became the Yik-Yak bunch.
The Yik-Yak Bunch.......The Yic-Yak Bunch, That's the way they all became The Yic-Yak Bunch.
