Here are the lyrics to our Rap song:
Lyrics
Yo....Dial up that pacemaker G, I got something to say -- the yellow vest posse - H. E. L to tha P. Comin 'atchu now (the yellow vest posse)
Well you might see me cruising in my old folks ride
Blinkers been on since I got inside
You thinkin' I'm a fogey, shuffleboardin' old timer
But I'm a Lions clubs member, and a really good rhymer
You know I dress to impress, fly as I can be
Wear my yellow vest wheneva' doin' good deeds
I might kick it in the park, bent ova' plantin' trees
Or go collectin' eyeglasses to help the kiddies see
Lions clubs! Lions clubs! No time for rest!
Lions clubs! Lions clubs! We be rockin' the vest!
Lions clubs! Lions clubs! Straight up and doin' more!
Lions clubs! Lions clubs! Lemme hear you roar! (Lions clubs yeah...come on)
Ballin' in my driveway, I might look pretty lame
But I'm a mac-daddy neighbor, volunteering is my game
I can mend a broken sump pump, know how to dig a stump up
Pruning shears in my hand, I make yo' rhodo-den-dron jump up
See I got skills to amaze you
Fall down I'm gonna raise you
You got a dry turkey sandwich?
I mayonnaise you (Oh yeah...I'm making your sandwiches)
Lions clubs! Lions clubs! No time for rest!
Lions clubs! Lions clubs! Stone cold rockin' the vest!
Lions clubs! Lions clubs! Philanthropic to the core!
Lions clubs! Lions clubs! Back up we're gonna roar!
If rappin' is what it takes to get our message out
Then I'll put my gums in motion, let my words be flowin'
You got a flag football team? [blows whistle] I start coachin'
(Yeah. Flag football)
See I'm more than a guy out sellin' raffle tickets
I feed the hungry, help the helpless, tell the selfish where to stick it
That's why I'm thumpin my Lions club chest
Now it's your turn to put on the yellow vest
(Yeah. What up Lion.)

Melvin Jones – Founder of Lions Clubs International
Melvin Jones was born on January 13, 1879 in Fort Thomas, Arizona, the son of a United States Army captain who commanded a troop of scouts. Later, his father was transferred and the family moved east. As a young man, Melvin Jones made his home in Chicago, Illinois, became associated with an insurance firm and in 1913 formed his own agency.
He soon joined the Business Circle, a businessmen's luncheon group, and was shortly elected secretary. This group was one of many at that time devoted solely to promoting the financial interests of their membership. Because of their limited appeal, they were destined to disappear. Melvin Jones, however, had other plans.
"What if these men," he asked, "who are successful because of their drive, intelligence and ambition, were to put their talents to work improving their communities?" Thus, at his invitation, delegates from men's clubs met in Chicago to lay the groundwork for such an organization and on June 7, 1917, Lions Clubs International was born.
Melvin Jones eventually abandoned his insurance agency to devote himself full time to Lions at International Headquarters in Chicago. It was under his dynamic leadership that Lions clubs earned the prestige necessary to attract civic-minded members.
The association's founder was also recognized as a leader by those outside the association. One of his greatest honors was in 1945 when he represented Lions Clubs International as a consultant in San Francisco, California, at the organization of the United Nations.
Melvin Jones, the man whose personal code – "You can't get very far until you start doing something for somebody else" – became a guiding principle for public-spirited people the world over, died June 1, 1961 at 82 years of age.
