Remember when...

...our parents sang us the 6 chicks song at our graduation party to tune of "The Brady Bunch" theme song?


In case you were not there or you forgot the words, here they are for your enjoyment. Make sure that you sing them in your head to "The Brady Bunch" theme song.


Here's the story, Of Claire and Sarah,
Of Lauren, Hayley, Jessica and Brooke.
They were co-eds, each on their own,
To Aggieland they looked.


Here's the storyOf 6 lovely ladies,
Who all, we're sure, were just a bit homesick.
But they soon would all come together
And before we knew it they were the Six Chicks.

The Six Chicks, The Six Chicks
This is how they became the Six Chicks.

A few short years ago they all left high school.
As anxious parents waved good-bye and cried,
They all headed out to College Station
Pumped full of Aggie Pride.

That whole freshman year was quite a struggle
With roommates, cafeterias and dorms.
The Chicks were spread out all over campus.
The bus became the norm.

Next came houses and apartment living.
The Zone or Walton was the place to start.
One was even a Carnation Cutie.
They were closer to each other yet apart.

The Six Chicks, The Six Chicks
This is how they became the Six Chicks

Then one day they had an inspiration!
It all began with 6 parent phone calls.
A truly hair-brained scheme to live together
In a 2 bathroom house for them all!

All of the parents were invited
To inspect the future nest of the Chicks.
So they came, and the Chicks were all excited.
The house on Eagle Pass would not be nixed!

The Six Chicks, The Six Chicks
This is how they became the Six Chicks

Soon came "the Boys " and their Prank Wars,
And the game of one-upmanship began.
But they did not realize with whom they battled,
And the Chicks finished with the upper hand.

Then came the trips to all their home town
Where their bond of friendship stretched out to include
Parents, siblings, grandparents and others,
And so the Chick family grew.

And of course there was “A Simple Glimpse”,
Which we checked religiously come high or low,
For the Chicks were always up to something.
The blog became our way to know.

Two years later,The party's over.
Their futures they are anxious to start.
But the bonds of Eagle Pass will never leave them,
Locked forever in each precious Chick’s heart.

The Six Chicks, The Six Chicks
Now you know how they became the Six Chicks.
