Lets Go To Lodge Tonight

I say, old friend, let's go to Lodge,

Just thinking, it' s not right.

We haven't been inside for years,

Let's go to lodge tonight.

I've paid my fees when they were due,

And helped at charity's call,

But, oh, the good I might have done

At the Masonic Hall.

I feel we should; Come on, let's go

To meet the "Sons of light."

Get out the little cover case

And sport our aprons white.

I want to see the trestle board,

To hear the gavels ring,

And join in with the good old hymns

The brethren used to sing.

I feel I haven't played the game

To Mother Lodge, it' s true,

There were times I couldn't go,

But then, those times were few.

I miss the joy of brotherhood,

And wisdom' s radiant light,

I say, old friend, Let's go to Lodge

And have a treat tonight.
