lirik lagu stephanie corley & chorus of opera north - green-up time

[elizabeth, spoken]
look down the road
everybody’s coming!

[sam, spoken]
oh, hurry
johnny, take the chair

[susan, spoken]
sam, i’m glad we’re having the party

[sam, spoken]
so am i! ha!

[three guests]
susan cooper, good to see you
hope we haven’t come too soon

[susan]
not at all, for we’ve been ready
since the early afternoon

[hank & alice]
susan, what a lovely evening
never saw the stars so bright
[susan]
i’m so happy, hank and alice
we could have the dance tonight

[alice, spoken]
a green~up dance
we haven’t had one for years

[josie, spoken]
how did you ever think of it?

[susan, spoken]
well

[susan]
walking along, i heard me sing
and i wondered why, then i heard me sigh
“look, it’s spring, it’s spring!”

yesterday morning i did see
blossoms on the apple tree
i took a breath and thought
“could it be it’s green~up time?”
then i began to look around
and in every field i found
greens were a~pushing up through the ground
for green~up time
and sure enough, the bluebells tinkled april in the glen
and sure enough, i fell in love with love again
then i started feeling awful bright
had a thought that hit me right
i’ll have my honey dance me tonight and have a time
to welcome in the green~up time

then i got thinking even more
home i flew to samuel’s store
said to my husband, “look out the door
it’s green~up time
we always like to reel and sing
we’ve a yard and everything
let’s have a dance to dance in the spring
for green~up time”

and sure enough, he looked at me, his eyes a~shining bright
and said, “why yes indeed, how ’bout tomorrow night?”
i said to him, “i can hardly wait
i’ll invite the folks for eight
and ’til the dawn we’ll all celebrate and have a time
to welcome in the green~up time”

[guests]
bow to your lady, let’s begin
take her arm and start to spin
this is a night for startin’ to spin
it’s green~up time
hands on her waist and lift her high
she should almost touch the sky
this is a night for touchin’ the sky
it’s green~up time
the cow is prime for milkin’ and she’s startin’ to moo
but no one’s gonna milk her ’til the dance is through
for this is a night to skip and reel
drink and eat a hearty meal
this is a night to do as we feel and have a time
to welcome in the green~up time!

[dance break.]

[woman 1]
susan, sam, it’s time to go
the dawn is almost here

[woman 2]
it’s been the grandest party
we have had this year

[susan, spoken]
thank you all for coming

[sam, spoken]
good night, george

[george, spoken]
thank you, sam
good night

[guests]
we’ll be talking many a day about the time
we welcomed in the green~up
we welcomed in the green~up
we welcomed in the green~up time
