Get ready for the festival
For the festival is only once a year
Raise your glasses in the air
And fill the barrels full of beer
Mother nature wave a wand
Over this lady's hand
May her reign mean a good year on our land

And the legend Josephine
The blonde blue eyed May Queen
Spent the night in the arms of her lover
The day before the crown
Gifts and flowers by her bed
Tired eyes and sleepy head
Stay warm 'til the morning calls you in

And the crowd scream Josephine
Our May Day eyes are on you
And the people sing and drown in wine
To crown the Queen of spring-time

And at only seventeen We've given you
Our blessings
And as you sleep tonight
Your heart is in safekeeping
And natures girl today
Can wipe her tears away
Her time to shine has nearly come

In the church they pray for harvest
You hear thew church bells ring
Your friends are in the bar tonight
To see the May Day in
But you, you are the Queen
Life isn't quite as easy
God bless the libertine
That lies within our Josephine

The crowd scream Josephine
Our May Day eyes are on you
And the people sing and drown in wine
To crown the Queen of spring-time

Hold on to your lovers hand
He'll give you all the strength you need tonight
And somewhere in a promised land
Is the love for the one you lie beside
When it gets dark and cold
You've got warm arms to hold
In the morning you'll be the angel of them all

And the crowd scream Josephine
Our May Day eyes are on you
And the people sing and drown in wine
To crown the Queen of spring-time
