Today is Mayor Street's second to last Wednesday in office, and he spent part of the day singing.
As in: "On the first day of Christmas, the Mayor gave to me
A health plan, en-tire-ly FREE!"
That's the first verse of "a healthy re-interpretation" of the 12 Days of Christmas that was unveiled at an afternoon press conference in City Hall. The purpose of the presser: To announce the city's newest health initiative, which will feature different fitness activities everyday until Jan. 6.
Street, along with his fitness czar, Gwen Foster, also lauded the city's achivements - it is less fat, they said, then when he took office.
Here's the rest of the song.
"On the twelth day of Christmas, the Mayor gave to me,
12 celebrations,
11 bikin' buddies,
10 acts of kindness,
9 sunlight minutes,
8 tips on eating,
7 hours of resting,
6 lung expansions,
5 super greens,
4 luscious fruits,
3 action workouts,
2 water jugs,
And a health plan, en-tire-ly FREE!"
