The official song of Schenectadyis "Our Schenectady," composed by John Van Laak and sung by Judi Merriam. Adopted by Schenectady City Council Jan. 30, 1995: Our Schenectady What a warm and friendly place it is to be Nestled among plains and hills With a beautiful river that always gives us thrills And stores and shops with all that one might need or wish to see And legends and tales and lots of history Oh Schenectady Our Schenectady Let us now plan and help to make it grow If we will all do our best Then others can do the rest For places to study and learn in Places to work and earn in Places to live in happiness |

No, it's not about THAT sort of "sweetheart." It's a romantic ballad of the "back in the days when we were traveling the Oregon Trail together" type. The songwriter was from Pocatello. |
