Answer: 1st verse -
I've been around this world a bit
Many towns with me have made a hit
And my mem'ry oft reminds me of the time I spent in every place
But there's one spot that I love the best
Soon I'll settle down with all the rest
In a town where all are happy with a smile on every face: (to chorus)
2nd verse -
Now I don't take credit from the rest
When I say I love this town the best
For you all have fav'rite cities, where with all your friends you long to be
But the reason that I like this town
Is they're always booming things around
Ev' ryone there that you will see shows of prosperity: (to chorus)
Chorus
S-H-E makes a pretty little she,
B-O-Y makes a boy
G-A-N do it over again,
And that spells She-boy-gan
Chairs, cheese and children are all manufactured in Sheboygan.
It's a cute, little city where the girls are pretty,
The boys you'll find are the regular kind.
(REPEAT FIRST TWO LINES OF CHORUS TO FINISH, OR USE THE FOLLOWING TWO LINES TO FINISH SONG)

Note: "The Wisconsin Division of Public Health has opened its West Nile virus hotline for reporting dead or dying crows, blue jays or ravens - a step the state hopes will help it combat a virus that can be deadly to humans. West Nile, which is transmitted most often by a mosquito bite, usually is fatal to birds, so the presence of dead birds often is a sign the virus is present in an area."

Answer: It is known that the mural paintings in the Post Office were done as a WPA project, but the Post Office has no records, so we don't know who did them, when, etc. Roland Schomberg, former County Clerk, states that another project involved repairing books in the Register of Deeds office in the Court House. Another Court House project was the creation of a card file on elected officials (a card file telling who held what office for how long, etc.)
