Wynterwade’s the Place

This song was written from scratch on December 29, 2007, during a Potluck Creative Arts Songwriting Workshop commissioned as a Christmas present for ABB to participate in with her grandchildren. It took 90 minutes, starting only with the topic of Wynterwade, a house on Nantucket Island where the family has vacationed for many years.

Lyrics

Pack the car, hit the highway, we’re ready to go
To the steamship ferry, and the whistle will blow
Three lighthouses and cobblestone streets
And sandy beaches for all our bare feet

You, me, the whole family
On the porch in the rain or out in the sun
Me, you, the animals, too
Wynterwade’s the place for family fun

Lucky stones and jingle shells, jellyfish, too
A horseshoe crab is waiting for you
On the boat we go clamming — ready about!
Hope the shellfish warden doesn’t find out

You, me, the whole family
On the porch in the rain or out in the sun
Me, you, the animals, too
Wynterwade’s the place for family fun
Wynterwade’s the place for family fun
