(to the tune of “There Is Nothin’ Like a Dame” from South Pacific)
She’s got tennis balls in hand
And a stash of yummy cheese
She’s got children and grandchildren
Counsels homeless and families
She is such a star
But she’s humble – no diva
Who do we love?
We love Eva!
With family and friends
She inspires songs and prose
Makes preserves from home-grown fruit
Tends to vegetable and rose
She befriends opera stars
And in her home they dwell
Who has us all
Under her spell?
(solo) She wrote books about moving and aging
Her conversation is sparkling and engaging
There is no one like Eva
In the whole wide world
We toast and shout “viva!”
We’re all inspired by Eva
We all read books by Eva
And no one cooks like Eva
No one thinks like Eva
And the shrinks like Eva
You get knick knacks from Eva
You can relax with Eva
We’ve gathered here to show her our love
She’s 90 years; we’re so proud of
This active, beautiful, savvy, dynamite dame!
