Come celebrate the first of May,
this festive day of sprites and flow'rs --
as streamers circle, maidens sway
in interweaving dance for hours.

Sweet acclamation of the spring,
come celebrate the first of May,
as dancers round the Maypole swing
while children with their garlands play.

And should you spy the elves and fae,
be sure to smile and wish them well.
Come celebrate the first of May,
a time they cast their magic spell.

When lilies of the valley bloom
and daisies overflow bouquets,
forget all thoughts of winter's gloom --
Come celebrate the first of May.
