Hey, Look at us! Look where we have been,
Look at us now, look how we have changed
Look at us now you will see we are still kids,

Around the world and back again!
Some traveled near while others went far:
but here or there we have followed our star.
We said goodbyes and went our way
On that, our graduation day.
Then whether to job, or college, or war
We found our niche we were destined for.
Some wandered a bit with uncertain ways;
Others ran to a goal and with it did stay.
But for fame or fortune or personal joy,
We did what we did each girl and boy.
We were just kids, but look how we have grown!
We raised our families and built our homes.
We spent all we earned or socked it away,
In anticipation of retirement day.
We gave of ourselves to whatever befell;
And ran with our hearts to dreams we dreamed well.
The hair we have lost, the weight we have gained.
The age spots, the wrinkles all tell a tale
The dreams that we had are beginning to pale.
The dreams that we had in fifty-five,
Are now but faint memories we cannot fix.
Look round the room - several are gone.
One day we will follow our time will come.
But we will not go down - we are far from through yet.
There is plenty of life in this '55 set.
With dreams unfulfilled and plenty of fizz.
Run ahead of our children, ahead of their's too
Show them our stuff and what we can do.
and we will keep coming back though older we grow,
There is a special bond here that not all can know.
"Hail, hail the gang's all here, round thy colors old
We will stick together for our dear black and gold"
