1^st Verse

 

We are members of Kiwanis,

Oh so proud to be.

A club where kids depend upon us,

In a country brave and free.

Our joy is found in helping others,

To be the best they can.

So work together member brothers,

Opportunity’s at hand.

 

2^nd Verse

 

We flip the pancakes and sell peanuts,

Have lots of fish to fry.

Our scholarships we gladly offer,

Encourage them to try.

Key Clubbers are our future leaders,

The K-Kids are the most.

So raise your glasses you Kiwanians,

And let’s propose a toast.

 

                     “To Kiwanis!”
