How About This One?

After the publication of my Sjoggie Nation post, my friend Shara suggested an anthem, loosely based on Perry Como's "Seattle". How appropriate:


When it's time to leave your family and your loved ones
It's the hardest thing a Sjoggie can ever do
an' you pray that you can find someone warm and sweet and kind
But your not sure what's waiting there for you

The bluest sky's you've ever seen are in the Northwest
and the hills the greenest green in the Northwest
Like a beautiful child growing up free and wild
Full of hopes an' full of deer's,full of laughter, full of tears
Full of moisture to last the years, in the Northwest
...in the Northwest.

< instrumental break>

When you find your own true love you will know it
By your smile by the look in your eyes
Sent of pine trees in the air, never knew a day so fair
It makes you feel that your so moist that you could cry!

The bluest sky's you've ever seen are in the Northwest
And the hills the greenest green in the Northwest
Like a beautiful child growing up free and wild
Full of hopes and full of deers, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of moisture to last the years, in the Northwest
...in the Northwest.

In the Northwest...for Sjoggies in the Northwest...in the Northwest.

Brilliant!! Now we need a flag.......

Here's Perry's version.
