[Intro] [All four voices enter on a big, ringing chord] (All): Ohhhhhhh... [Lead:] Let us sing you a tune of a marvelous affair! (All): The Maker Faire! The Maker Faire! [Verse 1] [Lead:] We traveled on down to old Mare Island, [Bass:] (A place of great naval fame) [Lead:] To see all the history there on the dry land, [Tenor:] (We're so glad we caaaaame!) [Lead:] But instead of just old ships and history's grand stage, [All:] A new world of wonders had turned a new page! [Chorus] [Full, lush four-part harmony. Sweet, melodic, and earnest.] (All): Oh, the Maker Faire, the Maker Faire! (All): Discovery and wonder are filling the air! [Lead:] Folks are sharing their knowledge, [Harmony:] their passions so grand, (All): The most inventive spectacular in all of the land! [Verse 2] [Lead:] We saw flying machines buzzing up in the sky, [Bass:] (A-buzzy, buzzy, buzzy) [Lead:] And robots of metal that winked with one eye! [Tenor:] (They winked with an eyyyyyye!) [Lead:] There were boxes that printed out trinkets so neat, [All:] An explosion of genius on every street! [Chorus] [Full harmony, sung with even more wonder and delight.] (All): Oh, the Maker Faire, the Maker Faire! (All): Discovery and wonder are filling the air! [Lead:] Folks are sharing their knowledge, [Harmony:] their passions so grand, (All): The most inventive spectacular in all of the land! [Bridge - Patter Section] [Tempo picks up significantly. Lyrics are delivered rhythmically and quickly, with tight harmonies on key words.] (Lead, quickly): There were Tesla coils zapping with lightning so bright and some colorful LEDs making day out of night, and a fellow with goggles was steering a chair, while a drone made of cardboard flew high in the air, there were crafters and hackers and artists galore, with such things you have never laid eyes on before! [Chorus] [Tempo returns to the grand, slower chorus feel. Sung with great, swelling enthusiasm after the fast bridge.] (All): Oh, the Maker Faire, the Maker Faire! (All): Discovery and wonder are filling the air! [Lead:] Folks are sharing their knowledge, [Harmony:] their passions so grand, (All): The most inventive spectacular in all of the land! [Outro] [Classic barbershop tag. The music slows way down, holding out the final notes.] (All): In all... of the... laaaaaand! [A final, ringing chord is held, then cuts off cleanly.] (All): What a show!
