Mummer Band

(1968)

I just saw a Mummer Band;
the music, it was grand -
They made me smile
As they did their show.

They went into their Mummer dance -
It made my father smile.
And all along I wanted to say,
"Even though I’m younger
I still love your mummer band."

I love rock n roll
And rhythm and blues,
But oh that mummer band.
Young and old were in the group,
All with a smiling face.

In unison they did their steps.
You’ll never know my feelings as
I watched that mummer band,
But all along I wanted to sing.

Chorus:
The feeling hasn’t left me,
I miss them to this day.
The only costume was their clothes.
I wish that I could meet them,
Then I could learn to smile,
then I’d be able to say…
