Mayoff Day 2001
Lyrics by Essie Mayoff (Ush/Sch) of Montreal, Quebec.
Sung to the tune of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” at the Montreal celebration.
And now the time is here
The Mayoff clan has got to-gether
It’s “Mayoff Day” – the end of May
It doesn’t matter what the weather.
We greet each other – we hug and kiss.
We tell them all what we have missed
It’s “Mayoff Day” – It’s our way forever.
We hope the young will carry on –
For our tradition will never be gone.
So to happy times we raise our glass.
Our cousin club – it sure has class.
We eat and drink, we laugh and sing
This “Mayoff Day” is a real big thing.
After to-night it’s time to say
We’ll see you all next “Mayoff Day.”
And if it seems so far away,
Just stay in touch – it will mean
So much – It’s our way forever.
