"We Had A Fest" (to the tune of "I Had A King") by Bob Muller
We had a fest at the Full Moon near Bethel, Playing & singing & channeling Ethel just swell And randomly raising hell The food was sublime, don't you know And the time there was oh so great! The rooms were the best, but for most of the fest We stayed up way too late And now it's time to plan again, We gotta go, no matter when So make your plans and make them soon For the Full Moon, for the Full Moon We'll have a fest in the Catskills near Woodstock Going to workshops and listening to good rock & roll And jamming to folk & soul If nature you like, you can go for a hike Just please don't feed the bears! Or swim in the pool, if you want to 'be cool' Or relax, with no cares... And we'll go back there every year To feast and sing and share good cheer The fests are great, They really rate, Don't hesitate!! ANNOUNCING..............
