The ROMEO Club Lyrics

Romeo Romeo Romeo here we go!

Kids from the corner

War was over

Made it home

And on their own

Always

Remember

Their neighborhood.

The place they were born and raised

Memories won't fade

Kept alive by

Those who survive

John Lefty Caulfield

Reserves himself a table

Upstairs at Charlie's kitchen

In Harvard square

Waits to place his order

For the boys of Kerry corner

The gang is back together

Monthly meeting can commence

Reminisce about the days

Before the war was won

The world was no bigger

Than 10 square blocks

Raised up in three deckers

Five kids to a floor

Organized outside for

Street politics and sports

Romeo Romeo Romeo here we go!

Kids from the corner

War was over

Made it home

And on their own

Always

Remember

Their neighborhood.

The place they were born and raised

Memories won't fade

Kept alive by

Those who survive

No decorated hero's

But they were the bones and muscle

World war 2 was won

On their sacrifice

All but a handful made it back

Back to their corner

Which had begun to change

Like the world outside

Teachers priests and lawyers

And blue collar workers

Greater Boston grew

Along with their lives

Moved away to raise their families

But they won't forget their roots

One regret for their kids

They have no corner of their own.

Romeo Romeo Romeo here we go!

Kids from the corner

War was over

Made it home

And on their own

Always

Remember

Their neighborhood.

The place they were born and raised

Memories won't fade

Kept alive by

Those who survive

Romeo Romeo Romeo here we go!
