lyrics

Deep in the forest the little footsteps trail
Through the mossy bower the midnight moon so pale
You can see where you’re going
But please still mind your feet
Lots of little creatures are walking underneath
Journey through the forest and join us at the swamp
The water here is murky a toxic nasty bog

Cautiously you take my hand be careful not to fall

Come and dance on the lily pads
Join us under shining moon
Sing and laugh with the fairy band
Under the silent moon we dance
Come and dance on the lily pads
Join the fellows of the swamp
Tell your tale in the mushroom ring
Under the silent moon we greet you
Under the silent moon

There amongst the flowers sitting on the pond
The king of all the swampfolk is singing you his song
A strange exotic chanting a croaking from the soul
The ripples on the water reflect the moonlight glow

Cautiously you stop a while to listen to his song

Come and dance on the lily pads
Join us under shining moon
Sing and laugh with the fairy band
Under the silent moon we dance
Come and dance on the lily pads
Join the fellows of the swamp
Tell your tale in the mushroom ring
Under the silent moon we greet you
Under the silent moon

Come and dance on the lily pads
Join us under shining moon
Sing and laugh with the fairy band
Under the silent moon we dance
Come and dance on the lily pads
Join the fellows of the swamp
Tell your tale in the mushroom ring
Under the silent moon

Come and dance on the lily pads
Join us under shining moon
Sing and laugh with the fairy band
Under the silent moon we dance
Come and dance on the lily pads
Join the fellows of the swamp
Tell your tale in the mushroom ring
Under the silent moon we greet you
Under the silent moon
