Rochester-related query
I spent part of my childhood in Rochester, and remember fondly a song we used to sing in grade school:

"Rochester, Minnesota, that is my home town,
Where the hearts are full of singing and the bells are full of ringing for the holidays...."


Anyone know where I can find this on YouTube or some such site?

1. Rochester-realted query
When i found myself humming that tune in my head this past
Christmas, I searched online - everywhere.  Your's was the
only mention of the song on the entire internet.  I decided
that if I found the lyrics, I would come back to this post and
make sure you get them, too.  :)  
After reuniting with friends from my elementary days in Roch,
one of them did some digging for me and found the song,
complete with music, so you can see how the tune goes.
I'm sorry I can't send you the pdf file as I am too new to the
site to be able to send you a private message...  But will
post the lyrics here for you.  Enjoy!  JLV 

It's called Christmas in Rochester, My Home Town 

There’s a special kind of feeling
Floating all around and everywhere
There’s so much to share with music in the air 
In my—home—town—
(Chorus)

See the people busy shopping, 
Mingle with the tingle of sparkling toys
Laughing girls and boys add to Christmas joys 
In my—home—town—
(Chorus)

May the world join in this feeling
Bringing love and peace to all mankind
Everyone will find that troubles stay behind
In my—home—town—
(Chorus)

Chorus:
Rochester, Minnesota—
That’s my home—town—
Where the hearts are full of singing 
And the bells are full of ringing 
for the hol—i—days—
As we gather round together 
Never minding wintry weather
There’s no place that 
I would rather be—
Rochester, Minnesota—
That’s my home—town—
