Harvest Festival
(To the tune of the dance music at all the dancing-optional festivals)
Working hands now raise them up
And take ahold the drowning cup
The long hard day away has gone
Let's feast until the rising dawn
Good food, fine wine, and fun for all
Bad spirits from our minds forestall
Take the hand of a pretty girl
Give her a spin and then a twirl
Find the dance, the music tune
Laugh under the Harvest Moon
Find the dance, the music tune
Flirt beneath the Harvest Moon
Find the dance, the music tune
Sing beneath the Harvest Moon
Find the dance, the music tune
Enjoy the night of the Harvest Moon!
We've worked a year and tired not
Through sleet and storm and cold and hot
Winter's snow and Summer's heat
Spring's flowers bloom, Fall's crops deplete
The Harvest Goddess we give what we owe
For sun and rain and seeds to sow
And so we celebrate with pride
Our joy should not be kept inside
Find the dance, the music tune
Give thanks beneath the Harvest Moon
Find the dance, the music tune
Relax beneath the Harvest Moon
Find the dance, the music tune
Get drunk under the Harvest Moon
Find the dance, the music tune
Then sleep under the Harvest Moon!
