The final piece of my leave taking occurred on Wednesday evening when the staff and their spouses gathered for dinner. It was a wonderful evening of well wishes and good byes which included an appearance by our own famous songsters – The Supremes. As the staff gathered below the balcony, Marie, Cathy and Chris sang their latest hit, “There goes Fr. Ed” to the tune of: “Here comes Santa Claus.” Give it a try!
There goes Father Ed, There goes Father Ed
Rushing for his plane
You have to promise before you leave
That you'll come back again.
While you're away, we promise you
That everything will be fine
We'll help the poor and bury the dead
And pay the bills on time.
Here comes Deacon Ron, Here comes Deacon Ron
Taking the baton
You don't know what you're in store for
Trying to lead our song…
We're good and smart, we know our stuff
We'll carry this tune just fine
But just remember, we like fun
Don't make us tow the line
So...goodbye, Fr. Ed...Godspeed, Fr. Ed
We send you on your way
Take this time to rest and study
Take this time to pray
When you return, you'll find your chorus
Tuned and ready to sing
Get on the plane, and don't look back
We'll see you in the spring!
