Joe Barkowitz's Reunion Tribute

Delivered (mostly sober) at the 25th Reunion on Thursday, August 9, 2001
Sung to the tune of "Yesterday"

Yesterday - BHS 25 Years

Yesterday, a 25th reunion seemed so far away,
Napoli, the Causeway, Panama's and sun everyday,
Let's all have another drink and say, "Oy Vey!"

Suddenly, some of us are stuck in places we'd rather not be,
Wouldn't it be nice to go back to the seventies,
With the partying we did, our livers would be history!

(Refrain)
Why then, think of all,
The experiences we shared roaming the halls,
If some of those, teachers were here today,
I would kick them in the b*lls,
We really love them all.

Yesterday, we did what we wanted to do anytime,
Let's not tell our kids everything, or they'll think we're slime,
I think I remember, yesterday.

We can always say, it was a different place and time,
The days live forever in our hearts and minds,
We'll always remember, yesterday.
