ODE TO THE PORT PERRY STAR If life gets you down, And your face wears a frown, And somehow you're not up to par, There are doctors with pills, Who can cure all your ills, Just look in the Port Perry Star. If your job seems to fold, So you've had a quarrel, With you wife or your girl, And she's gone, and you don't know how far, Don't blow off your head, Get a new one instead, Advertise in the Port Perry Star. You'd like a good second hand car, You're young, and you think Just look in the Port Perry Star. So you're just a punk, Whether sober or drunk, And you find yourself facing the Bar, Why not be a sport, Let the Magistrates Court, Place your name in the Port Perry Star. Do you know who gets married, And who's being buried, Who's fermenting some juice in a jar, Who's being born, And the future looks blacker than tar, I hate to suggest it, But dear boy you've guessed it, Relax, with the Port Perry Star.
