Mayoff Day, 2009 She was afraid to come out of the hot tub. From the hot tub to the towel. |

Mayoff Day, 2008 It's Mayoff Day in Texas! Oh, June is fast approaching, the end of May is here. It's the finest family holiday to rally friends and
kin; In the hot tub, conversation, beneath the starry skies. It's the finest family holiday to rally friends and
kin; Enjoy it for the moment, remember why you're here, It's the finest family holiday to rally friends and
kin; |

If you find yourself just south of Plano
In the week of the ending of May,
Join Denise and Bernie, for they know
How to celebrate on Mayoff Day!You'll enjoy a tart frozen Bellini
And chocolate cookies, of course,
And singing off key (just a teenie)
Like karaoke, only worse.All the guests who attend are delighted
To join in the celebration.
In front Tiki-torches are lighted
And in back the pool's ready, dive in.So sip at another bellini,
Buffet's got a good second course,
And a third drink (it's late, just a teenie);
Now the song's good, it's really great verse!Mayoff day is a reason to party,
Enjoying both family and friends;
Conversations both mundane and arty
And a song that it seems never ends.

It's getting near, the ending of May,
Towards the first of June.
Time to celebrate it's almost Mayoff Day.
Time to party, ready to play.Come to the Mayoff's, party at eight.
Come and plan to stay.
Party on this date, know that it's first rate,
For it's Mayoff Day!Pool's heated up, I'm ready to swim.
Even brought a towel.
Bernie's at the mixer serving frozen drinks
What a party, everyone thinks.I always know I'll have a great time,
'Though I'm turning gray.
This party nears, I'm loosing the years, I'm
Ready ~ Mayoff Day!Denise has food prepared for us all,
Cookies, dips and more.
Meet new friends and chat with old ~ enjoy the day.
Time gets on but I want to stay.Old friends and new, I've had a great time,
Best be on my way,
It will delight me, when they invite me,
Next year's Mayoff Day!
Top ~DF
It happens every year, we gather out this way,
We come to party hearty and we come to stay.
We come to visit, a-nd to play
For we're anticipating another Mayoff Day!
Denise bakes the cookies, for she knows we will miss
Her special choco-chocolate morsels (give her a kiss!)
If they're not the center-piece it just wouldn't do
We'd stamp our feet and hold our breath we'd all turn blue!We have to get together, celebrate the way
The way that we remember, wouldn't be okay
To miss the party, se-nd off May
For we're anticipating another Mayoff Day!Bernie heats the pool and mixes up the cold drinks
The margarita cooler blows some fuseable links
Bernie starts to panic then, he gives a soft moan
Without the drinks the party's off we'd all go home!But it gets fixed, the party's on, the guests will stay
We eat and drink and talk and laugh and even play
And when it's over, a-ll will say
That we're anticipating another Mayoff Day!
Top ~DF
See the man with a smile
On his face all the while,
He's a Mayoff!
And the lady who looks
Quite as good as she cooks,
She's a Mayoff!They're a pair, are those two,
And great friends, tried and true
For they're Mayoffs!
And the last day of May,
They invite us to play,
For they're Mayoffs!Chocolate cookies, Denise
Adds the chips, piece by piece
She's a Mayoff!
All the food is gourmet,
But then what can you say
She's a Mayoff!Take a dip in the pool,
Naturel (I'm no fool!)
A la Mayoff!
And the night never ends,
For you're here with old friends,
A la Mayoff!It is now Mayoff Day
Time for us to all say,
I'm a Mayoff!"
Margarita's held high,
As we toast and say, "I,
I'm a Mayoff!"

Lyrics by Doug Frazier
Mayoff Day is...
Time to take life slowly.
To enjoy your
Friendships and your family.
Know that love abounds so
You'll think of those around so
Fix well these sights and sounds so
You'll be here,
Enjoying Mayoff Day with someone dear.
Mayoff Day is...
More than slowly sipping
Frozen drinks or
Casually dipping,
While you talk of weather,
Or politics or whether
That couple there will ever
Get engaged,
Or noting that a common friend has aged.
Mayoff Day is...
Time for introspection:
Family, Friends are
Worthy of reflection,
Think of all they mean to
You, shoulders that you lean to
And joys that each has seen to
Send your way.
And celebrate them now on Mayoff Day!

Lyrics by Doug Frasier
Mayoff Day is
Fi-nal-ly here
What's the year's best holiday
that's made for you and me?
M-A-Y O-F-F it is Mayoff Day!
Mayoff Day . . . Mayoff Day. . .
Mayoff Day. . . Mayoff Day. . .
Forever hold your margaritas high
High, high, high, high
Sip a bit and sing the song and join the jubilee!M-A-Y O-F-F it is Mayoff Day!
Mayoff Day, it's . . . Mayoff Day, now
Mayoff Day, it's Mayoff Day, now . . .
Munch a cookie, hug a friend and sing a verse off-key!M-A-Y O-F-F it is Mayoff Day!
Mayoff Day . . . Bernie's Day . . .
Mayoff Day . . . Denise's Day . . .
Forever hold your margaritas high
High, high, high, high
Sip a bit and sing the song and join the jubilee!M-A-Y O-F-F it is Mayoff Day!
M-A-Y O-F-F it is Mayoff Day!
M-A-Y?
Because we love Denise's Chocolate Chips!
O-F-F?
And IF they run out, we'll have to go home!
Happy Mayoff Day! ~

It's always a special day to
Raise drinks and toasting, say to

Famous for Bernie's cold

Celebrate it
Always with friends so dear
It's always a special day to
Raise drinks and toasting, say to

Lyrics by Doug Frazier
Let me tell you all the story of a man named Bernie
on a tragic and fateful day.
He wrote out some invitations, kissed his wife and family,
Went to mail them out for Mayoff Day.But did they ever arrive? No, they never arrived,
and their routing is still unknown . . . (Poor old Bernie)
They are lost forever in the postal system ~
the mail that never got home.Well, Denise got worried when the phone bell ringing
was a salesman for Women's Day,
She hung up on him, and waited for a caller
in response to Mayoff Day.But did a caller ring in? No, no caller rang them,
'though she waited by the phone. (Poor Denise did)
for it never rang, and she could wait forever
never hear the ringing tone.But hope springs eternal, so Denise made cookies
and she hollowed out the cabbage head.
Bernie got the margueritas and he cleaned the pool and
set the shrimp out on a lettuce bed.And then the telephone rang! Then it rang and rang!
Every guest from years gone past, (almost fifty!)
to call up, inquiring 'bout their invitations
and see if they had been asked.So the guests came by, and all the shrimp were eaten
and the dip and cookies went their ways
And the marguerita cooler blew the circuit breaker
like on every other Mayoff Day.So if you think you're left out, and it's June first, about,
and you've not been asked to play (Poor forsaken!)
Blame the postal service, call Denise and Bernie
and show up next Mayoff Day!

Lyrics by Doug Frazier
Denise and Bernie Mayoff
spend every Mayoff Day
With kids and friends and those in their
extended family.
First, Bernie chills the drinks, then
cleans and heats the spa.
Denise makes treats from chocolate
that leave her guests in awe!"The Chestnut casts his flambeaux
and the flowers stream
From hawthorne on the wind away"
wrote Houseman on the theme
"The doors clap to, the pane is blind
with showers, " Mayoff Day,
Pass me the can lad;" A.E. scribed,
for, "there's an end of May."Come join the celebration -
enjoy the happy throng.
Renew old ties and don't forget
to sing the Mayoff song!
And toast the name of Mayoff
and talk and eat and play.
Treasure the place and family,
for this is Mayoff Day!Mayoff Days are rare, they
are but yearly found -
But scarce-held celebrations are
both precious and profound.
So gather up your family
and bring your friends around.
Enjoy the people and the day
and make a joyful sound!

Lyrics by Doug Frazier
When the Mayoffs, throw a party,
every year, on Mayoff Day,
They invite their friends and neighbors,
to enjoy food, fun and play.First they send an invitation,
mailed around the U.S.A.
Quoting Housman and anouncin'
the upcomin' Mayoff Day.Then Denise bakes chocolate cookies,
on the table she does lay,
Carrot wedgies, other veggies,
all the foods for Mayoff Day.Bernie warms the spa and pool then,
cleans the deck up with a spray.
Blows the whale up (fills the tail up)
- need the floats for Mayoff Day!Guest show up about eight-thirty,
"Bernie and Denise," they say,
"We're delighted you invited,
us tonight for Mayoff Day."Going to Denise and Bernie's,
Celebrating Mayoff Day.
With our friends enjoyment blends,
it never ends on Mayoff Day.When the Mayoffs, throw a party,
every year, on Mayoff Day,
They invite their friends and neighbors,
to share in their Mayoff Day.

Lyrics by Doug Frazier
Think of the last day of May as Mayoff Day,
A time to join Denise and Bernie.
Think of the last day of May as Mayoff Day:
A time to eat, a time to party.
Think of the last day of May as Mayoff Day,
A time for bright laughter, both full and hearty.
Think of the last day and if you can come play,
Then join us.
Join us, join us, join us, join us.Think of the last day of May in a good way,
A time for friends, both old and new found.
Think of the last day of May in a good way:
A time to feast, the toasts should abound:
Think of the last day of May in a good way,
A time for the friends who have gathered around.
Think of Mayoff Day and if you can come play,
Then join us.
Join us, join us, join us, join us.Having an off day, I think of Mayoff Day,
Although I know that lows can follow.
Having an off day, I think of Mayoff Day:
Without our friends, the world is hollow.
Having an off day, I think of Mayoff Day -
The joys of Mayoff Day which made us mellow.
Having an off day, remember Mayoff Day,
And join us...

Mayoff Day 1992
'The Battle of Huntington Drive'
(Sung to the tune of: The Battle of New Orleans)Lyrics by Doug Frazier
On Mayoff Day, we hit the ground a'running,
jump from the sheets anticipating play.
It goes unsaid the food'll be superb 'n
the people celebrating'll be havin' quite a day!On Mayoff Day, look forward to those famous chocolate chips,
they leap up from the platter and they march across your lips.
Denise's special vegetable dip in cabbage red
ambrosia personified, it makes you lose your head.Oh, we drive from Dallas and we ride from Wilmer
come up 3-5 or across on L.B.J.
We come on bikes, in battered old jalopies,
arrive in style in chauffeured cabriolets.Fourteen-eleven Huntington, the Mayoff's stately manse
sees a steady line of well wishers, of happy celebrants.
To Richardson we've come as one, each sinner, saint and floozie,
all friends indeed, unless one's peed in the Mayoff's Jacuzzi!We nosh at the fixin's and we sip at the wine'n
we chatter in the living room or pass the time at play.
Before we know it the evening's going to end an'
alas to say, next Mayoff Day will be a year away.We come to honor Bernie and Denise and all the clan
We honor Mayoffs everywhere, in this and every land,
Rejoicing too in friends like you who sing standing around
to raise our voice in chorus for a final merry sound.On Mayoff Day, we hit the ground a'running,
jump from the sheets anticipating play.
It goes unsaid the food'll be superb 'n
the people celebrating'll be having quite a day!

Lyrics by Doug Frazier
Chorus: As I wandered out in the back yards of Richardson
As lonely in Richardson, I walked one Day,
I spied a fair couple, all dressed in suits optional
All dressed in fine optional, immersed in a spa.I said to them, 'couple, you must have this day off,
To stay off from working, to lay off and play.'
Then gently both smiled, neither showed their dismay of
my question but offered me cookies that day.Chorus: As I wandered out in the back yards of Richardson
'I'm Bernie.' the man said, 'We celebrate Mayoff,
on June first, our family name to repay.
We'll take monday, or tuesday, or even payday off
Please join in the party we have underway.'Chorus: As I wandered out in the back yards of Richardson
The lady, Denise, took a glass of Tokay off
The tray, gave it me, then she said straightaway,
Take your shirt of chambray off, the pool's not a way off,
Have more chocolate cookies, we know you will stay.Chorus: As I wandered out in the back yards of Richardson
That was years ago, friends, though it scarce seems a day off
In the Richardson backyard I first thought to stay.
Take your own holiday off, but I'll enjoy Mayoff
With Denise and with Bernie in their hideaway.Chorus: As I wandered out in the back yards of Richardson
