Part of our Mother’s Day luncheon entertainment was provided by Calvin Lowe, Brad Chinn, Alex Yu, and Richard Chow, who swayed to the music and serenaded the ladies with lovely (and hilarious) four-part harmonies. Below are Brad’s creatively rewritten lyrics, personalized just for Cornerstone!
Cornerstone-a Girls
(sung to the tune of The Beach Boys “California Girls”)
Well Saddleback girls are hip
I really dig those songs they share
And the Calvary girls with the way they talk
They like to chat when I’m out there Oo-oo
The Crystal Cathedral ladies really make me feel alright Yeah!
But our New Life girls with the way they care
None of the others really can compare! No! No No!
I wish they all could be Cornerstone-a
I wish they all could be Cornerstone-a
I wish they all could be Cornerstone-a girls
The other churches have the money
And, are known a-cross the la-a-nd
But all the Mamas here in our Fellowship Hall
They make us PROUD to be their men! Oo-oo
I’ve been all around this great big world
And I’ve seen all kinds of girls Hmm…
Yeah, but you couldn’t wait to get back to this place
Back to the SWEETEST girls in the world!
I wish they all could be Cornerstone-a
I wish they all could be Cornerstone-a
I wish they all could be Cornerstone-a girls
Repeat:
I wish they all could be Cornerstone-a
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the…)
Cornerstone
(sung to the tune of The Beach Boys “Kokomo”)
Anita, Rebecca, oo I wanna take ya
Marietta, Charlene-a, come on pretty mama
Helene-o, PamFitch-o; Where did Pam Fitch go? Virginia!
Off Valencia…There’s a place called Cornerstone
That’s where you wanna go to get away from it all
Just ask Byung-Mee Chinn, or if she’s out, you can go ask Yin
They’ll be telling the world that you can find the best mothers in town
Down at Cornerstone!
Diane-na’s, Fukushima, oo I wanna take ya
Hayakawa, Hasegawa, come on pretty mama
Suzy Brachen-o, and Mabel Joe,
Baby, why don’t we go
(oo… I wanna take you down to)
Cornerstone, we’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go, Way down to Cornerstone!
Myr-na Chow. She’s really somethin’. Wow!!
If you have a need…you just reach out and call Wendy
And don’t you cry, if she denies – that she’s our secretary;
Sheree works late nights…on worship songs and our website
That creative look in her eye…leads people to Christ!
Way down at Cornerstone!
Angela, Selina, oo I wanna take ya
Wei-ling-a, PatGayle-a, come on pretty mama
LindaSmith-o, and Betty-Loh,
Baby, why don’t we go
(oo… I wanna take you down to)
Cornerstone, we’ll get there fast so we can meet Peggy Lowe!
That’s where we wanna go,
Way down to Cornerstone!
Myr-na Chow. She’s really somethin’. Wow!!
~ Instrumental ~
Everybody knows
A little place like Cornerstone
Now if you wanna go and get away from it all
Go down to Cornerstone!
Lydia, and Lily-a, oo I wanna take ya
All the Wong-ah’s and Fong-ah’s
Come on pretty mamas
Midori Lowe, all the Yee-o’s,
Baby, why don’t we go
(oo… I wanna take you down to)
Cornerstone, we’ll get there fast so we can meet J-Low!
That’s where we wanna go,
