《Maple Syrup Time》歌词

[00:00:00] Maple Syrup Time - Pete Seeger

[00:00:38] First you get the buckets ready

[00:00:40] Clean the pans and gather firewood

[00:00:42] Late in the winter

[00:00:44] It's maple syrup time

[00:00:47] You need warm and sunny days

[00:00:49] But still a cold and freezing nighttime

[00:00:52] For just a few weeks

[00:00:53] Maple syrup time

[00:00:56] We boil and boil and boil

[00:00:58] And boil it all day long

[00:01:01] Till ninety seven percent of water

[00:01:03] Evaporates just like this song

[00:01:05] And when what is left is syrupy

[00:01:08] Don't leave it too long

[00:01:11] Keep up the fire

[00:01:12] Maple syrup time

[00:01:15] I know it's not the quickest system

[00:01:17] But each year I can't resist it

[00:01:20] Get out the buckets

[00:01:21] And tap the trees in time

[00:01:25] Making it is half the fun

[00:01:27] And satisfaction when it's done

[00:01:29] Keep up the fire

[00:01:31] Maple syrup time

[00:01:33] My grandpa says perhaps

[00:01:35] It's just a waste of time

[00:01:38] Ah but no more than

[00:01:40] This attempt to make a happy little rhyme

[00:01:43] So or swing your tail

[00:01:44] But keep in

[00:01:46] But keep in the time

[00:01:48] Keep up the fire

[00:01:50] Maple syrup time

[00:02:30] I'll send this song around the world

[00:02:32] With love to every boy and girl

[00:02:35] Hoping they don't mind

[00:02:37] A little advice in rhyme

[00:02:40] Well find in life or revolution

[00:02:42] Rarely is there a quick solution

[00:02:44] Anything worthwhile takes a little time

[00:02:49] We boil and boil and boil

[00:02:51] And boil it all life long

[00:02:54] When what is left is syrupy

[00:02:56] Don't leave it on the flame too long

[00:02:58] But seize the minute

[00:03:00] Build a new world

[00:03:01] Sing an old song

[00:03:03] Keep up the fire

[00:03:04] Maple syrup time

[00:03:08] Keep up the fire

[00:03:09] Maple syrup time

[00:03:12] Keep up the fire

[00:03:14] Maple syrup time

[00:03:17] Keep up the fire

[00:03:19] Maple syrup time
