School Annual Fall Festival
All the children were excited, climbing the walls
Time for Annual Fall Festival at Crabbe Elementary
Corn shocks and jack-o’-lanterns decorated the halls.
The public invited, so at the door stood a sentry
Checking identification and issuing free passes
Time for Annual Fall Festival at Crabbe Elementary.
Responsible for a game were each of the classes
With prizes provided by the local mercantile shops
Checking identification and issuing free passes.
I never thought for a festival I’d see so many cops
But “the times they are a’changin’;” a swell affair
With prizes provided by the local mercantile shops.
Once kids could have fun all day long at a school fair
Parents always enjoy getting to know one another
But “the times they are a’changin’;” a swell affair,
Until I saw a four-year-old trying to find his mother
All the children were excited, climbing the walls,
Parents always enjoy getting to know one another
Corn shocks and jack-o’-lanterns decorated the halls.
