 Written by Anita Raymond on the occasion of our 10th ESCA anniversary in 1993. Sung to the tune of "Davey Crockett" 1. First saw the light in '83 - Not many members, actually two or three But years have passed, a half a score And now we number a hundred and more. CHORUS: English - English speakers! You're in good company. 2. People come to Israel from far and near. Once they've made it, it's very clear It's good to travel and nice to roam But best is to hear a voice from back home. CHORUS... 3. Here's how it started or so they say. People took a look around one fine day They said we need to lend a hand And help each other in this strange land. CHORUS... 4. Things started slowly when at all. A meeting in the Spring, the next in the Fall But our new committee is dynamite They're having meetings every other night. CHORUS... 5. E is for English, and let me say...All of you should practice it every single day Because you'll find that if you don't Then you'll speak English but your children won't. CHORUS... 6. S is for the speakers who have survived. Speaking English keeps our heritage alive And when your hopes become minute Remember S is also "savlanut." CHORUS... 7. C is for the club, the one we're in. C is for collecting dues, someday we'll begin C is for comrades whose help we need And C is for this country we hope will succeed. CHORUS... 8. A is for Ashdod where we reside. A is the activities we provide. English speakers will still have fun When the century changes to twenty - one. CHORUS... 9. Now in conclusion I'd like to note... our lives across the sea are distant and remote So aren't you lucky to be among So many people who speak your native tongue. CHORUS...
