Thread Name: Best Closing Song for Nursing Home Gigs
Subject: RE: Best Closing Song for Nursing Home Gigs
I know of one senior's choir that uses this for their ending song.
You work and work for years and years, you're always on the go
You never take a minute off, too busy makin' dough
Someday, you say, you'll have your fun when you're a millionaire
Imagine all the fun you'll have in your old rockin' chair

   Chorus:
   Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think!
   Enjoy yourself. While you're still in the pink!
   The years go by, As quickly as a wink.
   Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think.

You're gonna take that ocean trip, no matter, come what may
You've got your reservations but you just can't get away
Next year, for sure, you'll see the world, you'll really get around.

My 84 y.o. friend loves the song and loves her choir but laments her voice has moved from soprano to baritone.
