Fort Plain Gets A Theme Song From “Rhymin’ Richie” – Your Town Thursday

I know it took awhile to get to this. I wanted to write you a song long ago, but I thought you folks probably had a lot bigger things on your mind. On the other hand, you need a little bit of fun in your lives, and I hope this helps provide it for at least 90 seconds (that's how long it is!)

Google Earth

Well, let's get to it, shall we? I used one of my favorite songs of the past year as a jumping-off point - "Springsteen", by Eric Church. Love that song. And now - the parody, just for you folks. Special thanks to everyone on Facebook who contributed.

Fort Plain Lyrics

Parody of "Springsteen" by Eric Church

Every time I drive through this town, I see strong willed people all around

School colors, maroon and white

they all have topper pride

Heaven knows they lost a lot

but they still got two pizza shops

a real small town with real big hearts

woooooooo

Twister Valley, lots of fun

that's where the MX race cars run

Gotta little bank called the NBT

Where you invest your money

Make a stop at Hancock Street

Check out Phoebe's soft ice cream

the Amish there, they've got guts

they saved lots of peoples' butts

When we think about you, we think about flooded streets

how much can one town take

you've proven you can take a whole lot

Funny how a tragedy brings together a community

What other town do you know that has an auction every Tuesday nite

It only happens in Fort Plain

"This portion of the parody brought to you by every small business damaged by that flood -support your Fort Plain businesses!!"

The 5's Diner has great food

and we send out a salute

to Craig Phillips

the best darn baseball coach around

Fort Plain

(wo wo wo, wo , wo , wo, wo, wo - Your Town Thursday song - Richie from the Sean and Richie Show)

Gotta go!
