Nazareth Girls School Song

Carleen says "We gals used to sing this at Nazareth and it was sung to the tune of Ta-Ra-Ra Boom-de-ay"

We are the Nazareth girls
We wear our hair in curls
We roll our dungarees
Way up above our knees

We wear our father's shirts
We are the biggest flirts
And when it comes to men
We go for all of them!
