Now gather around and I'll tell you the tale Of Gerald the Great, or so he'd regale The grandest of fellows, or so he has said For twenty-five years he's been dreading his bed Every Midsummer morning he wakes in a state The village turns out, they can hardly wait They line up at dawn with their cider and grins For when Midsummer comes, well, the fun begins Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks When fireflies spark and daylight sinks Pixies come calling, mischief to spare Midsummer pranks Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks Gerald is cursing and pulling his hair Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks He will never see a morning same as before Midsummer pranks Forevermore The year of the goats, Lord, where do we start They filled up his manor from cellar to cart Forty-seven goats on his very best chairs Six on the table and three on the stairs Gerald came down in his fine morning gown The lead goat looked up and dropped something brown It was poop He chased them around through mud, rain and sun The village took bets, it was a whole lot of fun Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks When fireflies spark and daylight sinks Pixies come calling, mischief to spare Midsummer pranks Midsummer pranks The year of the portrait, oh Gerald grew red They swapped out his face for a cabbage instead His magnificent painting, twelve feet tall and wide Now featured a cabbage with Gerald's great pride Same regal posture, same glorious stance Same golden embroidered ceremonial pants He didn't notice til company came for his feast The cabbage, they noted, was handsomer at least Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks When fireflies spark and daylight sinks Pixies come calling, mischief to spare Midsummer pranks Midsummer pranks The year of the voice, ah the pixies outdid They switched out his baritone, yes that they did Gerald stood up at the Midsummer fair To give his grand speech to the crowd gathered there He opened his mouth and out came a squeak A tiny wee voice like a mouse trying to speak He squeaked through his titles, he squeaked through his name The village still squeaks as they ridicule his fame Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks When fireflies spark and daylight sinks Pixies come calling, mischief to spare Midsummer pranks Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks Gerald is cursing and pulling his hair Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks He will never see a morning same as before Midsummer pranks Forevermore Now you might be thinking, the poor fellow's cursed But let's turn the clock back to before things got worse Young Gerald went walking through Thistlewick Glen The grandest young fool ever hatched among men He stumbled on pixies at Midsummer's height Mid-dance, mid-feast, mid their holiest night Did Gerald bow softly and quietly pass He told them their dancing was, not first class He critiqued their music, their fashion, their tree Declared they should bow to him as he was lordly The Pixie Queen looked at him, cool as the night Oh, young Master Gerald, we'll see about that And they have Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks When fireflies spark and daylight sinks Pixies come calling, mischief to spare Midsummer pranks Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks Gerald is cursing and pulling his hair Midsummer pranks, Midsummer pranks He will never see a morning same as before Midsummer pranks, forevermore Midsummer pranks Forevermore
