Westchester County - Loudon Wainwright III

I was raised here in Westchester County

I was taught in the Country Day School

We were richer than most, I don’t mean to boast

But I swam in the country club pool

With a father from Hewlett, Long Island

And a mother from Tifton, GA

During the war in the Marine Corps

They met and then married one day

I was raised here in Westchester County

My brother, my sisters and I

Oh our dad went to work every day in NY

On a train in a suit and a tie

I remember those coming out parties

Where us country club kids had our fun

Steal a kiss, cop a feel, off a girl in high heels

Oh we all came in our cumberbuns

I was raised here in Westchester County

Tennis courts, golf courses galore

By the country club pool at the Country Day School

I learned manners, oh so much more

I remember those big Sunday dinners

Round that dining room table we all sat

Carve a turkey, a ham, a roast leg of lamb

Dinner finished in ten minutes flat

In the country club pool

I was raised here in Westchester County

I was taught in the Country Day School

We were richer than most, I don’t mean to boast

But I swam in the country club pool
