MUSSELMAN THEME SONG
(Sequel to 1975 Version)
Tune: John Brown's Body
We're still the Mighty Musselmans who come from far and near
Some on Coffee, some on Tea, and some a bit of Beer.
The fact of the matter is that we are all still most sincere
And everyone knows everyone is very very dear.
CHORUS:
Glory Glory what a super bunch are we
Young or old, big or small, it's one great family
Glory Glory what a super bunch are we
It's really great to be a part of this big family tree.
Our love is true, our love is strong and thankful we shall be
The family's growing more and more and each new one a glee
Who has more fun it is not known and we shall never care
If someone needs another then they surely will be there.
CHORUS
We all have mellowed through the years through lots of laughter, lots of tears.
Some gone to a better place way beyond our dreams.
And we all hope that in the end together we will be
In the greatest dream of all, the dream sublime eternity.
CHORUS
