Ben Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Initiative

The "Official" BFTF Theme Song

BFTF

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
Franklin , you united us all

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
Hey Ben Franklin, that’s why we’re singing this song

I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
The Wake Forest, has become our new home

There's no need to be unhappy.
And we’ll be so sad to leave it

Young man, there's a place you can go.
First day, new faces we saw

I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
And then later, new friends we became

You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
And what’s for sure, we will never forget

Many ways to have a good time.
Our adventures in the US

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

All the fun we had at BFTF

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
All the things we saw at BFTF

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
Sometimes we went to class, sometimes needed some rest

You can hang out with all the boys ...
Until the fire alarm did its best

Young man, are you listening to me?
Linda, our new mother here

I said, young man, what do you want to be?
And there’s Alan, taking pics everywhere

I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
And Papa Freese, finding host families

But you got to know this one thing!
But never forget this one thing

No man does it all by himself.
Kathy, also helped us a lot,

I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
While Wyoming, was eating our flip-flops

And just go there, to the y.m.c.a.
We were enjoying our fatty hot-dogs

I'm sure they can help you today.
OD was dancing with folks

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
This was really fun at BFTF

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
Thanks for everything both John and David

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
For the scavenger hunt and the others you’ve done

You can hang out with all the boys ...
Although sometimes we soaked to the skin

It's fu’s for n to stay at the y-m-c-a.
And thank you Mandy for the BFTF

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
For making album for the BFTF

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
And to Erin and Blake serving breakfast at Wake

You can do what about you feel...
And to our Big brother RJ
