I want you to come with us
have a good time with us
come sing and dance 'neath the stars

come have a laugh with us
come raise your glass with us
come and do nothing at all

we request your presence
and if you will let us
we'll make you feel just like a king

we've rolled out the carpet
and sent for the carriage
your smile is all that you must bring

We're waiting for you to come
out of the blue
we're hoping it won't be too long

I've a smile you can borrow
a bucket for sorrow
leave your worries -- come along

you butchers, you bakers
you candlestick makers
Poets, prophets, and priests

consider it mild to come play like a child
come one, come all and you'll see
It's your invitation to come to the Gathering
