The ‘Litz! by Shani
Here’s a little ditty about my hometown. (Well… not my true hometown, but my new hometown! 😉) Growing up I had many good friends from Austerlitz (& the neighboring towns. Actually I married one of them! ❤️) Some of them had a nickname for the town. (You know who you are- Meg & Mike!) They called it the ‘Litz. I always LOVED that, & after I moved there, I thought I should write a song about it. So I did! This is my redneck tribute to the fine little town I have ALWAYS loved! (And it’s all in good fun, so don’t take no offense now, ya hear?)😂

Lyrics
The ‘Litz!
Hanging out in the ‘Litz
Just like we were in the abyss
Ya ain’t got no glitz
If you’re truly from the ‘Litz
You take the old star route…
nowadays it’s 22
Things never moved so swift
till they put a highway on the’Litz
It’s a sleepy little town
but she’ll never let you down in the ‘Litz…
Get your kicks in the ‘Litz.
You pass the old white church
and the red school house,
the post office too…
and the fire house.
Just follow the Green river…
It’ll surely deliver… a bit of paradise
or at least suffice
It’s a sleepy little town
but he’ll never let you down in the ‘Litz.
Get your kicks in the ‘Litz.
I heard a rustle over there.
Could it be that black bear?
Or just a big buck…trying out his luck
Or a fisher cat… a red fox at that?
Could it be that possum?
He’s so damn awesome!
He doesn’t spread disease…
Eats all the ticks he please.
It’s a sleepy little town
but she’ll never let you down in the ‘Litz…
Get your kicks in the ‘Litz.
Going north on 22
You see a tiger watching you.
But don’t be scared…
He’s not really there
Get ready for the snow.
Snowmobiling we will go…
with Dan the man…
He knows the lay of the land.
It’s a sleepy little town
but he’ll never let you down in the ‘Litz.
Get your kicks in the ‘Litz…
Get your kicks in the ‘Litz…
Get your kicks in the ‘Litz.
