Three Songs
Tune: Oklahoma! Lyrics by Joan Levin
Sarasota! where the surf comes crashing to the shore!
Here we'll sing and fête, and celebrate,
And wish Abe and Esther fifty more!
Sarasota! It's a long long way from Lake Shore Drive!
Where the Winter Wīnd is so unkind,
That it sometimes makes you take a dive!
So lets drink to the sea and the sun!
And wish Esther and Abe years of fun!
And when we say; Three cheers, hip hip hooray!
We're only saying; You're doing fine, Abe and Esther,
Abe and Esther, OK!

Tune: Every Day is Ladies Day with Me by Victor Herbert
Lyrics: Joan Levin
Every day is Esther's day with Abe,
Every day is Abe's day with Es,
And the days must all be nifty,
For they count the years to fifty,
And they always seem to have a wink or smile,
The clever darlings!
Well it hardly seems so very long ago,
But here we are to catch the golden gleam!
And we're glad they found their fun,
Spending all their time with one,
'Cause in any league they are a winning team!

Tune:It was a Very Good Year
Lyrics: Joan Levin
Lyrics: Joan Levin
Nineteen Thirty was a very good year,
She sought her Ph.B., a quaint old degree, from the U. of C.
And she laid down the rule at the Emmett School,
It was a very good year!
Nineteen Thirty was a very good year,
Where'e'r he'd steer his car, near or far, by compass or star,
That car would still tool by the Emmett School,
It was a very good year!
Nineteen Thirty was a very good year,
They sang those Showboat lines, and they both felt fine,
And today they shine, so let's drink and dine, by every sign, this is a very good year!
