I wonder who will be there

On this wet and windy night?

And will we recognise them

When they first come into sight!

Through the door we entered

We heard voices loud and clear

And straight away we knew

The 'Old Gang' was gathered here.

The friends we knew from years ago,

'How long?' - good gracious was it twenty!

We shared our memories gladly

A little sorrow, but joys there were aplenty.

We laughed a lot, this old gang of ours

We drank and sang old songs

Memories of such happy hours

When somehow we all belonged.

So here's to Auntie Pauline

To have her start us was such luck

And here's to everyone of us

Known to all as 'Old Stagestruck'.
