And stop by Frasier's End of the Trail when you next take a hike. Look out for Sarah Kastein and her super special bike!!! And when you talk about a new invention. Incident'lly don't forget to mention!! That it took Dahl to make the prison locks. Aithouse and Wheeler made a superior pump. Oh, it took Shaler's Vulcanizing process to make motoring an easy style. Bush knew how to make a five-cent cigar; So Waupun has made its mark in history. Music & Lyrics by Russ Columbia - THE WAUPUN SONG We build a town, breaking new ground, To call it Waubun for "Dawn of Day". Where people till the land, Making work seem more like play. We grow, facing new change, Knowing that nothing stays the same. We learned this to be true, When they registered our name. We live in... CHORUS: WAUPUN, you stand so tall, WAUPUN, from wall-to-wall, WAUPUN, we're proud to call you home. It's here families prevail, And no larger city can compete. For values to be learned, Are in the home, not in the street. We live in... REPEAT CHORUS. As the years gently roll on, We build a future carved in stone. So every generation can, Build from that backbone. We live in... CHORUS. FLAG CEREMONY, BY American Legion Getchel-Nelson Post 210.
