The park rangers at Grand Canyon National Park kicked off National Parks Week with surprisingly catchy rendition of Queen’s 1977 smash hit rock anthem “We Are The Champions” with some updated lyrics about their daily duties. National Park Week runs through April 27th and is meant to celebrate everything “parks.”
“There are more than 400 national parks of different shapes, sizes, and kinds to experience. Also discover what the National Park Service does to preserve natural and cultural heritage and provide recreational opportunities in communities across the country—and even the world!”
These ranger might not have the legendary four octave vocal range of the late great Freddy Mercury, but we appreciate their commitment and hope you celebrate National Parks Week with their same vigor:
Sung to the tune: We Are the Champions – Queen 1977
And the park views,
I’ve seen a few
I’ve seen my share of great sunrises and sunsets
They’re here for you too!
We are the rangers, my friends
And we’ll serve the park, till the end
We are the rangers
We welcome strangers
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the rangers… of the park!
I’ve learned the rocks
And I give the talks
I lead park tours
And so much more
And it’s been a lot of fun
But I’m far from done
The park ranger profession is the best
It’s second to none!
