Mooncakes
[Mother, Baba & Workers]
Stuff! Roll! Press! Smack!
Stuff! Roll! Press! Smack!
Sift the flour, let the eggs crack
Knead the dough on every hour
Then we start it all again
Stuff! Roll! Press! Smack!
Stuff! Roll! Press! Smack!
Form the dough around the filling
Brush with egg and please no spilling
What a lovely gift they are
[Mother]
And there’s tradition in these mooncakes
And we make every one with care
Then we bake them full of fondness, sweetness
Lofting through the air
And there is magic in thеse mooncakes
You can feel it all around
Mooncakes whеre the magic is found
[Mother, Baba, & Workers]
Stuff! Roll! Press! Smack!
Stuff! Roll! Press! Smack!
Sift the flour, let the eggs crack
Knead the dough on every hour
Then we start it all again
Stuff! Roll! Press! Smack!
Stuff! Roll! Press! Smack!
Form the dough around the filling
Brush with egg and please no spilling
What a lovely gift they are
[Woman]
We need five more
Or maybe twelve
Because I’ve got the cousins coming
[Man]
And you know just how they are
[Woman & Man]
They loves these cakes
So I think you better give me twenty more
[Mother]
Each one holds a message from the Moon above
Cherish life and everything you love
Magic in these mooncakes
[Baba]
Magic in these mooncakes
[Mother]
Hidden in these mooncakes for you
[Mother]
Magic in these mooncakes for you
How the leaves are changing
Soon the festival begins
Such a special feeling
[Mother & Baba]
Magic in these mooncakes
Hidden in these mooncakes for you
[Fei Fei]
And there are memories in these mooncakes
All these memories shared with you
All the stories that you told me, mother
Make me think of you
Magic in these memories
Forever I hold true
Mooncakes and the memories of you
