No.450 May Queen

[Lyrics]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Quiet time passes, in preparation for summer,

The plastic sheeting has been removed from the greenhouse,

The sweetpotato seedlings have finished growing,

And are waiting to be planted.

[Pre-Chorus 1]

We received a lot again.

Sweet potato seedlings.

[Chorus 1]

Her name is,

Queen of May,

She brings us joy.

She waits for that time.

[Verse 2]

I say, “Three containers full,”

“We have no choice but to plant them.”

“We have no other option.”

She says, “Otherwise?”

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I say, “They’ll just wither away.”

She says, “What a waste.”

[Chorus 2]

Her name is,

Queen of May,

She brings us joy.

She waits for that time.

[Instrumental Solo]

[Verse 3]

She says, “Like a machine gun,”

“Let’s fire them in.”

I say, “Before that,

“Let’s harvest the potatoes.”

[Pre-Chorus 3]

She says, “May Queen,”

I say, “Queen of May, huh?”

[Chorus 3]

Her name is,

Queen of May,

She brings us joy.

She waits for that time.

[Bridge]

I say, “Big ones befitting a queen.”

“I hope we can harvest a lot,”

She says, “No problem,”

“Because they’re May Queen.”

[Final Chorus]

Her name is,

Queen of May,

She brings us joy.

She waits for that time.
