THE CIVIC, YOUR CIVIC
This spring it’s time
For blue sky thinking,
For dreaming and working
And epic rebuilding;
This spring it’s time
For Civic reshaping,
For singing and dancing
And huge money raising
The Civic, your civic
The smile on your face
This spring it’s time
For a new door to open
To bring all the folk in
Laughing and joking
This spring it’s time
To start the ball rolling
To get the town cheering
To see the place growing
The Civic, your Civic
Step into your space!
