Here’s a place that’s darn pretty
At one time they called it Whipple City
I hope they never change the name back again
Great Teams who would switch
With a group that's won 10 Team State Championships
You don't think it’s a big deal
Having 14 winners just from track and field?
I wanna go where Greenwichians go
Fishin in the Battenkill -takin it slow
Drive up to Bald Mountain - hey, something named after me!
The school mascot --there’s a switch
it’s not a dog or bear - it’s a witch
Come on down to a really cool car show
That’s where Greenwichians go
Lots of history- the home of Susan B Anthony
And Chester B Arthur -who was he?
he was a President, you big dummy!
Here’s where the people meet
at the nice Farmers Market down on Main Street
Yes sir it should be coming up any day
Why do I say it’s time well spent ?
cuz there’s a soup bisque and chowder Tasting event
There's not much money that you're gonna waste
how can you complain, at a dollar a taste
I wanna go where Greenwichians go
that’s why we at the Sean and Richie show
We packed up our things to bring the radio to you
Hal Ketchum lived here - oh yea that’s right
cuz he loved the Small Town Saturday nites
and if you’ve got a small town then why not let us know
cuz that’s the next place that the Sean and Richie show's gonna go
(Spoken)
The home of the Underground Railroad
And the Washington County Fair which is really in Easton but what the heck! We'll say it's here!
