          Autumn Harvest

(CHORUS) Welcome, everybody
Welcome, time to party
Welcome, everybody
Welcome to the Autumn Harvest

 

Seasons come seasons go
Yeah we like it
Autumn winds start to blow
Yeah we like it
When them leaves start to fall,
Changing colours and all
See them dance through the breeze
Catch them if you please…..
Hey, hey, hey, hey

 

(CHORUS x 2)

 

Autumn skies they will glow
Yeah we like it
So many colours on show
Yeah we like it
As we see the squirrels run,
Hiding acorns having fun
Children coming out to play…
With conkers everyday
Hey, hey, hey, hey

 
(CHORUS x 2) 

 

Bring a marrow and come
Hey!
Bring some apples and come
Hey!
Bring the nuts and come
Hey!
Bring all the crops and come, come, come
Bring a pumpkin and come
Hey!
Bring some berries and come
Hey!
Bring the conkers and come
Hey!
Bring on the crops and bring on the crops and
When we see the harvest moon
Yeah we like it
All the crops will come soon
Yeah we like it
See them birds flying high
Heading south through the sky
As they fly to migrate
Hedgehogs hibernate
Hey, hey, hey

 

(CHORUS x 2)

 

 

An Autumn Visit

 

Autumn is wearing a bright golden crown -
She’s coming this morning to visit our town   
And her best friend. Wind, will be joining her too.   
Will they have a nice day?  Just what will they do?

She’ll be changing the colours of leaves on our trees.
Wind likes to tease them with his cold playful breeze.    
They’ll come tumbling down in a pile on the ground    
Then he’ll take a deep breath and blow them around.

They'll both knock down conkers for children to find -
But  nuts aren’t just there for the good of mankind.   
The squirrels like nuts and they’ll store them away    
Then out they will come on a cold wintry day.    

What lunch do you think the two friends might eat?
What sorts of things would be good for a treat?  
There’s sweet tasting berries and fruits of all kind -    
Such wonderful treats for the two friends to find.

They’ll chase over the hills and along by the river –
Wind’s cold wintry breath will cause us to shiver.    
Swallows will see them. then they’ll say their goodbyes –   
Calling “See you next year” as they fly through the sky.   

The sun’s going down -  there’s no time left to play,
But the two friends have had such a marvellous day!”  
When you look all around at this colourful scene,  
For certain you’ll see where the two friends have been.
