Goodbye settlers

goodbye settlers (mp3)

Lyrics

we have a board
we have friends
we number 2 to 4
we are age 10 or more
get set clear the floor

we'll play the game
place our pieces 
where the resources are made
and if we don't we'll have to trade
and when we've won we'll rearrange

we'll rearrange 
where the hexagons are laid
and then we'll start again
but before we do we say

goodbye to settlers of ca 
we'll miss you
the east coast isn't really far away
well that's not true
but we wish it were
goodbye settlers

we make a home 
out of house
we make a child with a spouse
we return we move away
we loose a job we get a raise

we rearrange 
despite the best plans we lay
but before you move away we say

goodbye to settlers of ca 
we'll miss you
the east coast isn't really far away
it's not true
goodbye to settlers of ca 
we'll miss you
the east coast isn't really far away
well that's not true
but we wish it were
goodbye settlers

goodbye to settlers of ca we'll miss you
the east coast isn't really far away
well that's not true
but we wish it were
goodbye settlers

we have a board
we have friends
we number 2 to 4
get set clear the floor

Songwriter Notes

jenny's request

who is the imagined singer You

who is the intended listener friends who are parents who are moving far, far away

ask three questions 1. Can Settlers of Catan be played online with friends who move to the East Coast? 2. How can we best celebrate the final "new month" party on December 4? 3. How do you find time to do this AND teach?
