To the soundtrack of “Dirty Dancing” by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warner

 Intro:  Now we’ve had the time of our lives
 Boys -   And we’ve never felt this way before,
   And we swear it’s the truth,
   And we owe it all to you.
 Girls -  Cause we’ve had the time of our lives,
   And we owe it all to you.

 Stanza I  From the time that we were freshman
   Although younger we had goals in our minds;

   There was no stopping us because
   We were the class to end it all in ’89;

   We are the class that will succeed;
   In future years we’ll always be number one;
 
 Boys -  Just remember we know one thing,
 Girls -   Charlotte Amalie won’t die.
 Boys -   Now we are saddened
 All  -  To say goodbye,
   Because

   Chorus: 

We've had the time of our life

and we've never felt this way before

and we swear, it's the truth

and we owe it all to you.

 Stanza II: Now it’s time we plant the seeds for the success that we 
   Will need to fill our minds;
   
   We’ll be Engineers and Doctors, maybe Presidents and
Lawyers in due time;

   When we leave we will explore to find out what there
 is in store for our lives;

 Boys -   Just remember, Charlotte Amalie,
 Girls -   Your teaching have brought us thus far.
 Boys -   We’re sorry we’re leaving
 All -   But you’ll be our star,
   Because

   Chorus: All

Stanza III The time has come to say farewell Charlotte Amalie will  
   Excel in us forever;

   When we say that last goodbye we’ll know that Charlotte 
   Amalie High brought us together;

   As we wipe away our tears we will remember many years
   Left behind us;

 Boys -   Just remember we know one thing
 Girls -   Charlotte Amalie won’t die.
 Boys –   Now we are saddened
 All -   To say goodbye
   Because
 
   Chorus: (twice)
   Sax Solo
   Intro: repeated: Boys
   Girls echo with “Never felt this way”
   Chorus (simultaneously to end)
