Sing along to classic Rotary songs used at meetings and events.
My Rotary is here in Nigeria (or your town) My Rotary starts right here with me
Chorus: O come, O come O come and share Rotary with me (2×)
Do you want to serve well your neighbours without counting cost or return Do you want to serve well your nation Without blowing horns or trumpets.
(Chorus)
Do you take pride in your own business Do you take pride in fellowship Do you take pride in the 4‑way Test Then come and share with me
(Chorus)
It’s a world of laughter, and world of tears It’s a world of hopes and world of fears There’s so much that we share That it’s time we’re aware It’s a small world after all
Chorus: It’s a small world after all, (×3) It’s a small small world.
There is just one moon and one golden sun And a smile means friendship to every one Though the mountain divide And the oceans are wide, It’s a small world after all.
Let every good knight raises his helmet and glove Vive‑le Rotary To carry our messages of service and love Vive‑le Rotary
Chorus: Vive‑le, Vive‑le Rotary (×2) Trust is our right, Love is our might Vive‑le Rotary
I love to go a‑wandering, along the mountain track And as I go, I love to sing, my knapsack on my back Val‑de‑ri, val‑dera, val‑de‑ri, Val‑de‑ra, my knapsack on my back
My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf, So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself Though it weighed not a kobo weight more It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride But it stopped, short, never to go again when the old man died.
Chorus: Ninety years without slumber (tick, tock, tick, tock) His life seconds numbering (tick, tock, tick, tock) But it stopped, short, never to go again when the old man died.
Thy praises high I love to sing, Rotary, my Rotary My homage now to thee I bring, Rotary, my Rotary With friendship, loyalty and cheer, I’ll serve my brothers far and near And hold thy precepts ever dear, Rotary, my Rotary
