Let us dance
Let us sing, let us si...ing
Whilst our life's in the Spring
And give all‚ and give all
All all‚ all all
To the great God of Love
Let us dance

Whilst our life's in the Spring
And give all, and give all
All all, all all
To the great God of Love
Let us revel
Let us revel and play
Let us‚ let us revel and play
And rejo...oice whilst we may
Since old time, since old time
These deli...ights will remove
Let us revel
Let us revel and play
Let us, let us revel and play
And rejo...oice whilst we may
Since old time‚ since old time
These deli...ights will remove
