The Birthday Song - To the tune of “Those Were the Days”

One hundred years ago St. Chris was opened

It was very different than today

The car and telephone were new inventions

Women didn’t vote, and gays were locked away.

CHORUS

Those were the days my friend, lending a guiding hand

Improving lives for all both old and young,

And in a sudden flash, a hundred years have passed

That’s why we celebrate and sing this song.

At Lake Scugog we got out of the city,

And swam, canoed and breathed the pure, clean air

CHORUS

Well Baby Clinic, Meals on Wheels and sports games

Helped make us strong and showed a world of care. CHORUS

More recently we joined with Parkdale Focus,

Our HATS troupe has performed both far and wide

The Meeting Place, FAPS, and employment programs

Are only some that we name now with pride.

CHORUS

But some things haven’t changed, it’s plain to see now

The rich do well, the rest get left behind

Those with greatest ne-ed are neglected

And this is where St. Chris will always shine.

CHORUS + La, la…….
