What Did I Miss, Mechanicville? – Your Town Thursday [AUDIO]

We are going to visit Mechanicville for the Small Town Tour this Friday morning. We'll be at the Ugly Rooster. I want to sing your theme song, but I think it needs more!

Not long ago, guys, I wrote you a song. Would you like to hear it again?

Now there's that "rap" part where I rattle off some facts. I'm sure I left out some things. I'm willing to write you a second verse if you'd like to provide me with more information. Up for it? Then leave me the factoids (funny or serious) in the comment section and I will be happy to get to work on it.

Original Lyrics

Mechanicville

Parody of "Dirt Road Anthem" by Jason Aldean

Now they'res a town that we all know

that's got every business on the same road ,

And when you drive down that Park Road

You just might wind up at the End Zone

You'll find lots of churches there and preachers

and some darn good high school teachers

(Like Mr Daley)

And there's no if's no ands and no maybes

They've got their share of older folks and babies

You can grab some pizza, eat Chinese,

Find a bank or a bar or a Mickey D's

Costanzo's man is really cool

though I hear from the people that it's a zoo

In the summer you can kayak and canoe

find anthing that floats, and you can use that too

On the 4th of July they go berserk,

at the Talmadge Park they'res fireworks!

At one time there were lots of gin mills around

like the B and the D but they tore it down

Red Raiders team, they're the best

in MechanicSville - wait-they'res no "S"

I think you all know

they once had a nasty tornado

but they never lost their will

they grow em real tough in Mechanicville

In the meantime, we'd love to see you at the Ugly Rooster on Friday! We'll have prizes, and I'll have my piano if anyone wants to sing something! See you there, thanks to Fidelis Care and the NY 529 College Savings Plan..
