0:14She was 69, still smokin'
0:18Serving hurricanes since the Schooner's Wharf opened

0:25She said, "Don't ever let grass grow up underneath you"
0:28Carry on karaoke, it don't matter if you can't
0:32Carry a tune in a bucket anyways

1:05And she said, "Hun, my shift's ending"
1:09Beside a peace sign at the bottom of my ticket
