As we usually sung the following lyrics in our Watsons Hymn –

“This is our home, where we feel a sense of pride, working as a family we’ve got the passion and the drive, to make people look good, feel great, have fun. …and when people smile, we feel the joy and pride. It feels so good inside this is why we look good we feel great we have fun at Watsons. We bring more to life.”
