02 "The Naumburg Cherry Festival Song"

[Verse 1] The Hussites marched on Naumburg town, Came through Jena, tearing down. On the whole bird meadow plain, Nothing left but spear and chain, A hundred thousand strong. [Verse 2] As they camped around the wall, Panic spread inside to all! Hunger burned and thirst hit hard, Coffee cost a fortune guard, Sixteen pence a shot. [Chorus] Don't you know the Cherry Fest, Where you spend and give your best? From far and wide the people call, The city stands and will not fall! Hand in hand the people stand: Best festival in all the land! [Verse 3] As the danger reached its peak, Hopeless souls began to speak. Then a schoolmaster in place, Devised a plan to save the space, Thinking of the children. [Verse 4] "Kids," he said, "you’re young and clean, Innocent and never mean. I will lead you to Prokop, He will surely make it stop, And won't massacre you." [Verse 5] Prokop's heart began to melt, Cherries for the kids he dealt. Then he drew his heavy sword, Shouted out the marching word: "Right face, turn from Naumburg!" [Verse 6] To honor this great miracle, Every year's a festival. Freedom and Victoria! The Hussites all are gone away! [Final-Chorus] Don't you know the Cherry Fest, Where you spend and give your best? From far and wide the people call, The city stands and will not fall! Hand in hand the people stand: Best festival in all the land! [Outro] On the meadow plain! Freedom and Victoria! [Hard Sharp Stop]
