May Time Carol


Tis the Season to Be Rushing!

Tis the season to be rushing
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
No Christmas trees or holiday pudding
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
Don we now our May apparel
Soccer cleats, baseball pants, hats and gloves
Now we sing a May Time carol
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
Lunches, fieldtrips, dancing classes
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
Reports, exams…hope everyone passes
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
End of school year celebrations
Invitations, graduations, some complications
Bridal Showers and Wedding Receptions
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
Classroom parties “We want cupcakes!”
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
Mother’s mixing, now Mother bakes
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
Don’t forget what’s most important
Teacher gifts, thank you notes, pizza parties!
Don’t be late for any appointment
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
 
No time for dinner or for resting
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
Off to hear some recital playing
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
Needing strength from Heaven above
Rushing here, rushing there, everywhere
Do it all for the people we love
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
 
Hurry now, is summer coming?
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
I’ve had enough of this May time running
Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run
No more homework, no more parties
No more games, no more treats, no recitals
No more school and no more tardies
Phew!...Rush, rush, rush, rush, Run, rush, rush, rush, Run!!!
