A New Song for The Gathering by Matthew Edwards

Let me wake up in the morning to the sound of kazoos humming,
And the merry whirr of toothbrushes to greet the dawning day.
The thumping of the cloggies will set the floors a-drumming,
As I stumble over sleeping bags to wash my sins away!

How I long to spend the daytime 'mid the sounds of voices singing,
As all along the High Street 'Catters sing, and dance, and play.
In the pubs of Stony Stratford sweet harmonies'll be ringing,
While on Horsefair Green a hamster's guiding John from Hull astray!

In the evening the 'Catscratch Band will send my feet a-leaping,
Until the dancing's over, and the last notes fade away.
Then I'll climb the stairs of York House where I hope I'll soon be sleeping,
And I'll count the sheep with Eric, and thus end a happy day.
