Twas the week before Christmas in Gig Harbor town
And the people were bustling with nary a frown
They were filling the Target, the Costco, Home depot
The shops by the water were swarming with people
And the stores up in uptown with tinsel and glitter
You can follow their patrons on Facebook or Twitter
But they all need a rest from their parking and shopping
And Forza’s the place where the folks will be stopping
With courteous service and coffees galore
This may seem like your average café-type store
But you’ll know just the minute you walk through the door
That this place is all that and a whole truckload more
They have all the best servers not to mention the food
And the customers all in a very bright mood
We talk to them all and the guests, they all tell us
The selection of wine would make anyone jealous
And once in a while, in the fading of light
When the day is near finished and the mood is just right
And the food and wine start to make everything bright
There is music that pierces the cold Harbor night
And what, you may ask, is that wonderful noise
That is stirring such merriment, causing such joys
And giving us respite from presents and toys
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s just the Shy Boys
You’ll find them at Forza, they play on occasion
When dancing is needed or spirits need raisin
The sharing and caring with family and friends
Has you thinking of others as the evening ends
So please share your blessings, lend someone a hand
Let’s pray for those people who must take a stand
And who risk life and limb to protect this great land
Merry Christmas from all of us here in the Band
