Better and Wetter at the Family Y!

Vacation time!  So now's the time to travel far and wide

Spring rains are gone, the country's high and dry.

You'll find it hot and dusty everywhere you ride:

It's better and wetter at the Family Y.

I'd like to see the Alamo out on the Texas plain

Where far too many soldiers had to die.

But now that's oil country that's always wanting rain:

It's better and wetter at the Family Y

I'd like to try the stratosphere, just to look down from

The towers of Manhattan or Dubai.

The air is like a vacuum there, it makes you want to come where

It's better and wetter at the Family Y.

I'd like to be in Egypt; I'd like to pet the sphinx,

To see those pyramids reaching to the sky

But it's drier and it's dustier there than anybody thinks.

It's better and wetter at the Family Y

And, oh, to be in Athens to see the Parthenon

With its pillars and its portals standing high.

Now the place is filled with boulders and the roof has fallen in,

It's better and wetter at the Family Y

And then there is old London town, always a lively place The Olympic games are coming in July With sprints and leaps and hurdles clouding up the pace It's better and wetter at the Family Y.

Well, yes, it is vacation time, it's time to make a choice.

With lots of new experiences to try

For the prospect of this summer, everybody raise your voice:

IT'S BETTER AND WETTER AT THE FAMILY Y.
