In the Borough of Belle Plaine, in this county of Scott,
The wee people invite you, show us what you’ve got!
Grape Ape, tale of the tape, size does matter,
Pester Power, this is your hour, mad as a Hatter.
Bumbles Bounce, time to pounce, the time is close at hand,
Awesomesauce, the Celtic Cross, your wish is my command.
Big Ole, Holy Smoley, enough is enough,
Quite fulfilling, are you willing? A game of blind man’s bluff.
Generation X, having a complex, I’m a dieing breed,
It’s kind of sad, I’m all you had, I hope you succeed.
Buffy the Cow, have a powwow, freedom is bliss,
I don’t know why, say goodbye and seal it with a kiss.
To be determined, Herman the German and Oh that twine ball,
Time to move, have we improved? Sounds like a drawl.
Grand Marshals will be Carol and T.C., daughter Kate at the mic,
The pleasure is ours, Fogarty Powers, it is what we like.
Are you ready, let’s get sweaty, find the Yeti,
Things could get buzzy or maybe fuzzy, throw some confetti.
Dopplegangers and cliffhangers, begin your quest,
There’s two of me, be carefree, excitement at the crest.

The Clans are proud, cry out loud, Heritage at its best,
Fogartys, O’Briens, Dalys and all of the rest.
Got your goat? What floats your boat? Wow will it yield?
Fit as a fiddle, caught in the middle, I’m ready to be revealed.
King Kong, bang a gong, sometimes a flash mob,
Giraffes and Elephants, could this be relevant? Yes siree Bob!
Don’t expect a miracle, be the miracle! Stick to the cause,
Worry ends, where faith begins, hold down the applause.
Pluck me out, let out a shout, Andre for everyone,
You’re the most, purpose a toast, lots of reruns.
Manta Rays and glory days, a blast from the past,
It’s a gamble, could be scrambled, the pace is fast.
Big Green to the south, word of mouth, Hippos and Rhinos,
This is the key, the bees knees, strike a pose.
Apple trees, bunches of these, who’s this Baby Huey?
Freedom is power, you must scour, stuck like gluey.
McCovey Cove, a treasure trove, warning track power,
Do not sink, into the drink, this could be your finest hour.
Rocky Taconite, oh what a site, great big stuff,
See the fountains, let’s move mountains, it’s been long enough.

Something new, whales of blue, this needs to go higher,
Determination, elevation, you are on fire.
Our man Shrek, hit the deck, Dreamworks animation,
I've been called the songbird of my generation.
Barry's Boogie, get out your woogie, a fine Irish Lass,
A thing of beauty, it is your duty, don't give me no Sass.
Big Louis, who is this, yer the man, kick the can,
Polar bears and Flemish Hares, stick to the plan.
Bean stalk crop, what's at the top, FE, FI, F0, Fum,
Not a belly itcher, this could make you richer, you are welcome.
“The Ball” at the Hyatt, be willing to try it, gather the tribes,
Bring your spouse, check out the tree house, can you feel my vibes?
A Shamrock's a clover, a game of Red Rover, Clifford's his name,
Leprechauns looming, theories are blooming, all is fair game.
Bunyan's his name, oh what a Babe, a local legend,
Erin Go Braugh, there is no flaw, it's just what I've been pledgin'.
Utah, Arizona, avoid the Corona, New Mexico, Colorado,
Up and down and go around, I admire your bravado.
Irish Pride, enjoy the glide, the old fashion way,
If I'm not found, for crying out loud, I'll see you on Friday.
