Intro

x2

Feed the kittens in the kitchen

Set food out for the strays

Try hard to do your best

 The magpie will have his way

x2

Fill your mouth with berries

 By the full light of the moon

Work all night if you have to

 The magpie comes at noon

Bridge

x4

Shore up the crucifixes

 Above the archways and the doors

 The magpie will come at midday

 And you will go down on all fours

x2

And when the cherry's white with blossoms

 Be ready and be brave

And remember what we had here

 When there was something left to save

Bridge
