The Elks have visions,
Supporting many, around the U.S.A.,
Helping children to veterans,
Live normal lives, today,
Giving those, with less freedom,
A path, along the way.
Unselfish, caring members,
Supporting rules, they believe,
Donating, many hard hours,
With no personal greed,
All just to help others,
They may never know or see.
A special place, to share thoughts,
A great meal, drinks, whenever,
Modest, annual dues,
To keep their lodge together,
Everyone has pride,
They want, The ELKS, around forever.
