Oh Say Can You Lee

Lee was born Norma Deloris Egstrom in  Jamestown, North Dakota. -- Wikipedia

Join with us today as we

Sing the praise of Peggy Lee.

Composer, lyricist, and singer

She has earned the cheers we bring her!


At the start when she’d perform a

Gig her name was Egstrom (Norma).

The Egstrom name was old and proud,

But sounded funny said out loud,

And thus it is today that we

Toast the name of Peggy Lee.
