PRIDE OF KEANSBURG

THERE IS A LITTLE TOWN OUT ON THE RARITAN BAY
IN THE SHADOW OF NEW YORK CITY
IT'S A LITTLE OUT OF THE WAY
IT HAS STORIED PAST
MAYBE CHECKERED ONE MIGHT SAY
FOR THOSE WHO SPENT THEIR CHILDHOOD HERE
THERE WERE MANY HAPPY DAYS

FROM THE POLAR CUB TO SAFEWAY
FROM MAC'S TO DIXIE LEE
FROM SWIMMING AT THE BEACH
TO BOATING ON THE CREEK
FROM THE BOARDWALK TO THE POOLS
TO THE GOOD OL' SKATING RINK
THERE WERE SO MANY GOOD TIMES HERE
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INK

(Chorus)
WE ARE THE PRIDE OF KEANSBURG
IT'S WHERE WE COME FROM
THERE'S PLENTY OF US STILL AROUND
WE FORM A HAPPY SUM
WE GOT OUR FRENCH FRIES FROM THE BOARDWALK
AND OUR CLOTHES FROM ROBERT HALL
I'M PROUD TO SAY I'M FROM THE BURG
KEANSBURG HAD IT ALL

MANY FOLKS HAVE LEFT
ALTHOUGH SOME ARE STILL THERE
THE CHARACTERS WE REMEMBER LEFT THEIR FOOTPRINTS EVERYWHERE
FROM SAINT ANNE'S TO KPS
THE MEMORIES WERE BEST
FOR PREPARING US FOR LIFE
KEANSBURG PUT US TO THE TEST

(Chorus)
WE ARE THE PRIDE OF KEANSBURG
IT'S WHERE WE COME FROM
THERE'S PLENTY OF US STILL AROUND
WE FORM A HAPPY SUM
WE GOT OUR FRENCH FRIES FROM THE BOARDWALK
AND OUR CLOTHES FROM ROBERT HALL
I'M PROUD TO SAY I'M FROM THE BURG
KEANSBURG HAD IT ALL
