about

A jingly, jangly pagan waltz. A positive celebration of Paganism set way back in time.

Care to dance round the maypole?

lyrics

Work done, have fun
Everyone’s here and we’re laughing and smiling
We dance round the maypole again
Yes, we dance round the maypole with friends

We need good food
Grown in our fields at the edge of the wood
So we dance round the maypole again
Yes, we dance round the maypole with friends

The Christians come round
They tell us we’re naughty
Most of them look like they’d like to join in
If only their god would give them a chance
To dance round the maypole
I’m sure they’d be smiling
Much more than they do
And surely that would be a good thing?

Healthy babies
That’s what we need to keep our tribe strong
So we dance round the maypole again
Yes, we dance round the maypole with friends

The Christians come round...

Yes, it’s time to make babies now
It’s time to make babies now
Now is the time to make babies

The Christians come round...
