= = In 1967 [|Claude Francois] co-wrote and recorded a song called “Comme d'habitude”, which was a great hit in France, it is about the break up of his relationship with the French singer France Gall. media type="youtube" key="bMoY5rNBjwk" height="344" width="425" The Canadian Paul [|Paul Anka] was on holiday in France, heard the song and wrote new lyrics for it in English, and called it "[|My Way]". I personally used to like the [|Elvis] interpretation best, as far as the English language versions go, but you know, the Sid Vicious version has grown on me. media type="youtube" key="WIXg9KUiy00" height="344" width="425" Two notes before we begin: 1. As usual, accuracy may be sacrificed for the sake of a rhyme or a cheap laugh 2. This is a wiki so you can fiddle with this as you please

So here is my tribute to ATeam and Residence Hall duty- to the tune of “My Way”. And if you would like some musical accompaniment, a midi file will play below for your listening pleasure. media type="file" key="MyWayMidi.mid" width="300" height="50"

**“My Final Duty”**

And now, the end is here And so we faced our final dinner But still we have to wait until next Wednesday to be sure there's no one in there. From Smedes to Penick and there to Cruik we've traveled each and every hallway But more, much more than this, We did duty our way

Mistakes, we’ve made a few, But then again, too few to mention. Like failed room inspection, Like late check-in  Like missing dinner sign-in, Like noise violations   Like no permission to ride in that car   Like Facebook during study hall   Like overflowing toilets Oh, those weren't our mistakes? And it didn't rhyme? "Well we'll be much better next time" So all in all, at the end of the day They do things their way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew We bit off more than we could chew. I’m thinking Spring Fling athletics, How about you? And then the weather, we will remember The snow that fell not just in December, The tornado drill, and the real storm made us thankful to be warm In house or dorm We survived it our way We have laughed until we've cried, Then in time those tears subside we've dealt with sadness as well as gladness Some boarders gone, we lost a few But our community grew, too, with babies new! Our friends who are leaving, we ’ ll miss you a lot. You may be going, but you’re not forgot(ten) And Les is down upon his knees Begging you, please, please, please Return your magnetic gate keys. Off to study, or to other parts for brand new jobs or for brand new starts Each of you will stay in our hearts Your memory with us as we say Go do things your way

Note: You are probably singing this aloud.We are approaching the final verse, so you should sing this one louder, like the final verse of the School Hymn.

What is a boarder, what has she got?

If not for friends then not a lot  A home away from her other kin   With adults who care about her through thick and thin So together we all can say That's The Saint Mary's Way!
