To the tune of: Hail to the Chief

Hail to the Chief of the H.B.L.L.L.L.

As you embark now upon your farewell trek;

May your retirement befit you very well-well,

This is our wih-ish, ex-librarian Albrecht.

CHORUS:

Ever Hail to the Chief of the H.B.L.L.L.,

As we see you retreating out the door - out the door–or–or-or;

Whether we mih-iss you-oo, ti-ime will tell,

Buh-ut we are all indebted and shall be evermore.

………………………………………………………………………………………….

Hail to the Sterling example of a man-man;

What have you left us as shyly you retire?

We have the memories, plus those strategic plan-plans,

Which we shall fol-ah-low, perhaps, or admire.

CHORUS:

Ever Hail to the Chief of the H.B.L.L.L.,

As we see you retreating out the door - out the door–or–or-or;

Whether we mih-iss you-oo, ti-ime will tell,

Buh-ut we are all indebted and shall be evermore.

………………………………………………………………………………………….

Hail to the planner we call Sterling-ling-ling-ling.

Hail to your insight which has been outta sight.

That’s why our voices are raised to sing, sing, sing, sing.

That’s why we’re shree-ee-king with all of our might.

CHORUS:

Ever Hail to the Chief of the H.B.L.L.L.,

As we see you retreating out the door - out the door–or–or-or;

Whether we mih-iss you-oo, ti-ime will tell,

Buh-ut we are all indebted and shall be evermore.

………………………………………………………………………………………….

Hail to transition and Randy Olsen-son-son,

Who has learned much at your honorific knee.

Your job, amigo, is over with and done-done,

But what remaineth now is your legacy.

CHORUS:

Ever Hail to the Chief of the H.B.L.L.L.,

As we see you retreating out the door - out the door–or–or-or;

Whether we mih-iss you-oo, ti-ime will tell,

Buh-ut we are all indebted and shall be evermore.
