In a special celebration to honor Roy Thomas at his retirement, several staff at the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware participated in an arrangement written by the honoree. Let's hear it for the B-M-R-C! BMRC --------- YOUNG MAN! When I first started here, I was a YOUNG MAN! But it soon became clear, over a..... LONG SPAN!, It could cost me my hair And you SEE! That's-just-what-hap-pened! GERSTMYER! Was first to offer-me a-job, and then JOHN FARIS! And then later on Bob and-as-I-was....

They're looking for someone with a servant heart, They're looking for someone who's state-of-the-art! My first assignment was with Baptist Family, Then came Finance and the facility.   It seemed no-one Wanted THAT job So I've-had it for some time. But I've outlasted Lyle, Barnes and Lee, But CONGRATS! HA! You'll all be here after me!   Iris and Margot, Thought you might want to know, Writing songs is NOT in the job description! Just keep on serving at the BMRC and be unswerving at the BMRC You know, You know there's lots of work to do, you know that Folks'll be lookin' for you at the.... BMRC, Yes keep on servin' at the BMRC They're looking for someone with ab-i-lity They're searching for folk with flex-i-bil-ity.   For 25 years, I've been travellin' these halls Trouble-shooting, responding to all your calls   So if I helped you, I am glad of that, But if not, Please-keep-it un-der your hat. So if you find yourselves in a spot Outlook's not working AGAIN! or your room feels hot,   LISTEN UP! Here's my advice what to do, Do NOT CALL ME, I won't call you! Well, I MAY call YOU at the BMRC But you've no problems at the BMRC! Just you remember if Things aren't workin' out Give Ray or Iris or Margot a shout At the BMRC, They'll still be servin' at the BMRC November's comin', Re-serve the truck Do NOT forget it 'Cuz you can't pass the buck At the BMRC, There's lot'za boxes for the Annual Meeting. Randy my friend, You'd better get out and mingle, Or the next-time-you-do-"Sisters", It'll-be-as-a-single.  At the BMRC Christmas Party, This is the last chorus, Thanks for your attention, Forgive-me-if-your-name I-ne-glected-to-mention. At the BMRC! BMRC!
