Sung to the the tune of “Waltzing Matilda”
Lyrics by Doug Frazier
Long years ago, when Bernie was a younger man,
Proud of his name and his family tree,
Looked at a calendar, only as a young man can,
At his month’s end an idea had he.
Celebrate Mayoff, celebrate Mayoff,
Celebrate Mayoff the first day of June.
Bernie danced and he sang out, I’ve invented Mayoff Day,
I’ll throw a party each year to this tune!
He soon wed Denise, they celebrated Mayoff Day.
She added cookies and food to the fest,
And together, they gathered their friends to join their happy play
Now a tradition that ranks with the best.
Celebrate Mayoff, Celebrate Mayoff,
Celebrate Mayoff the first day of June.
Now together they gather, commemorate the end of May,
And at the party, this song they will croon.
Celebrate Mayoff, Celebrate Mayoff,
Celebrate Mayoff the first day of June!
Join we now with all Mayoffs to celebrate each Mayoff Day,
Knowing the evening will end far too soon!
