To Mr Jack Tyson

On the Occasion of his 90th Birthday

In the town of Albany
Of the Tysons there are many
One of them moved
And his prowess has since been proved
What did you expect
He went to Georgia Tech

He flew B-26s
While still in his briches
Avoiding the flak
That was Captain Jack
What did you expect
He went to Georgia Tech

Then he joined Owens O I
The world wondered why
But this expert in glass
Didn`t fall on his ass
What did you expect
He went to Georgia Tech

He hit Cedar Key about `85
Still so alive
He gave the city no quarter
While he sorted their water
What did you expect
He went to Georgia Tech

Today he is 90
Which pleases us mighty
So let us all join him
And then let us praise him
What did you expect
He went to Georgia Tech
