List of Songs

## Mount Absalom's Town Anthem

Twixt the hills of Appalachia,

and the flats of Indiana,

Lies the jewel of America!

Mount Absalom, Mount Absalom,

How blessed now are we,

For in thy hale and verdant arms,

We have everything we need!

By our lakes and homes and halls

And our celery standing tall,

We survive while the others fall!

Mount Absalom, Mount Absalom,

How may we best thank thee?

For in thy green and growing arms

We have everything we need!

## Opening to the Celery Festival

Great Green Mother, who we adore

Be with us please forevermore.

At your love, we ne'er will balk

May we always have your lovely stalks.

## Celery Jingles

### Radio Jingle

You look like a celery soda

Bright and crispy and o so tasty

Treat me like a celery soda

Drink me up and say hooray!

### Wes's Jingle

Celery, fresh as a daisy

Celery, green and amazing

Sparkling water, touch of sugar

Get your greens, and tell your mother

Celery, celery

Celeric Bottling Works, Mount Absalom, Ohio

### Abbie's Jingle

Celery-spicy, celery-cool. Celery-spicy, celery-cool.

What/ Bubble /Fizz/ I need that.

What/ Bubble /Fizz/ I need that.

What/ Bubble /Fizz/ I need that.

Soda soda soda soda soda fizzzzzzzz.

## Lost by Rusty Standish

I lost every word that I

Never found the nerve to say

Carve  my heart in the sides

Of winds and waterfalls, landslides

So I’m standing at your door

And I couldn’t say what the knob is for

I lost every moment that I

Never spent as your lover

Now all we share, you and I

Is the distance between us

Now all we share, you and I

Is the distance between us

## Rituals

Light the lamps

Open the doors

Beware the one in the night

Beware the one in the night

Water the stones

Tighten the ropes

Count the stars

Sound the bell

Beware the one in the night

Beware the one in the night

## Halloween Songs

### Do the Trick or Treat

Who’s my sugar? You’re my something sweet

Who’s my candy? Good enough to eat

Who’s my honey? May I repeat:

Come on sweetheart, and do the trick or treat!

Trick or treat now,

Do the trick or treat

Can’t be beat now,

Dancing down the street

Feel complete now,

Do the trick or treat,

Come on, lemon drop, do the trick or treat!

### My Boyfriend is a Jack O Lantern

My boyfriend is a jack o lantern

He’s really quite a catch

You could say that he is really well-rounded

I found him in the pumpkin patch!

My boyfriend is a jack o lantern

He’s got a toothy grin

And oh I really mean it

When I call him “pumpkin”

Sha la la la la! Sha la la la la!

Doo bee doo bee da!

Happy Halloween!

My boyfriend is a jack o lantern

With triangles for eyes

And though he can be a little seedy

He’s got a light inside

My boyfriend is a jack o lantern

Back in 1800 he was murdered

And his soul was trapped away forever

Inside a spooky gourd!

Sha la la la la

Sha la la la la

Glooby blooby blah

Happy Halloween!

### The Graveyard Shuffle

Turn around! There’s something behind you!

G-Get down! Don’t let that thing find you!

To the right! Don’t let the word bind you!

Do the graveyard shuffle with me!

Do the graveyard shuffle with me!

Oh, and even the cyclops can see!

It’s a hell of a time to party!

Creep around! That creature you’re fearing

Watch the ground! That something is nearing

To the left! Clear out of that clearing!

Do the graveyard shuffle and moan!

Do the graveyard shuffle and moan!

Come on and shake shake those bones!

Remember to water the stones!

Shake your hips! Sh-shiver and tremor

Let it rip! And try to remember

Take it back! Too late to surrender

Do the graveyard shuffle and churn

Do the graveyard shuffle and churn

The door in the basement returns!

The handle is starting to turn!

Spin around! The black cat is grinning!

Check the bounds! The Old Scratch is winning!

The veil between our worlds is thinning!

Do the graveyard shuffle, alright!

Do the graveyard shuffle, alright!

Do the dance that’s filled with fright!

Beware the one in the night!

## Dot's Lullaby

Lily, belle of the morning,

Lily, belle of the ball

Lily, I want you to know that

Lily’s the best babe of all

## Delphic Order choir

Sing of joy and sing of grace!

Welcome to our warm embrace!

We name you now our kith and kin!

And invite you to our fires within!

Should you ever tire of labor,

The Delphic Order is your neighbor!

Should your hope be at its end,

The Delphic Order is your friend!

Should you be weighed by despair,

The Delphic Order gives you care!

Feel no sorrow, feel no fear!

The Delphic Order is always here!

Let our hearts show true goodwill!

Let our light shine brighter still!

When you might feel cold and lost,

We’ll protect you from the frost!

## Eliza Fenwood's Song

You were birthed before the first fall

From the stars down to the soft loam

May You shepherd us from ill

Mount Absalom, Mount Absalom

a barrier we'll build

for though the one at night does roam

we shall protect You still

May You answer in the bell's calls

May You drink it from the old stones

May You bless the earth we till

Mount Absalom, Mount Absalom

When water from the hill

Meets water from the hall and home

We know that we do Your will!
