Pull my daisy, tip my cup
All my doors are open
Harp my heart for coconuts
All my eggs are broken
Harp my heart, harp my light
Cirrus, hold me steady
Hyp my angel, harp my light
Lay it on the needy
Harp my heart, harp my light
Cirrus, hold me steady
Hyp my angel, harp my light
Lay it on the needy
Well, when Jack and Neil and Al and I wrote this song
Back in 1959, we never thought it would be a music fest tonight
And seeing all of you at this beautiful
Place on this August eve is outta sight
Because the music has been going all the daytime as well
And in the afternoon we have nothing to sell
Because there's only the stories of the music to tell
And that really is truly alright
Because music fest is the best
You can come in short pants or a crop-tail vest
It doesn't matter how you dress anyway
Because the sunshine in your heart brings each brand new day
The spirit of what it is all about
And if Jack himself were here
He'd be sitting in on the cougar drums
And sharing in this cosmic cheer
Because they used to make all the words of music up too
Just like now we're going to do
It's called improvising or spontaneity
And you can do it without having to pull your daisy
Because it's so much fun
You don't have to worry about the battles that are lost
Or the ideas that are won
Because it comes in its natural way
There's not really too much left to say
Except that if you think that the 1950s were a drag
You're probably right, but still they were out of sight
Because they had a different type of bag
We all used to get together like this August beautiful weather
Whether you were from Pennsylvania, New York, didn't matter any
It only meant that you had spent part of your tether
You were tethered to the rope of reality
It was all so connected with spontaneity
There's not much more that we have to say
'Cause now we can hear Mr. Victorious play
Pull my daisy, tip my cup
All my doors are open
Harp my heart for coconuts
All my eggs are broken
Harp my heart, harp my light
Cirrus, hold me steady
Hyp my angel, harp my light
Lay it on the needy
Harp my heart, harp my light
Cirrus, hold me steady
Hyp my angel, harp my light
Lay it on the needy
That's the way they used to scat-sing back in 1952
And now in this beautiful August night in 1988
When none of us should really at our ages be up this late
We think about Jack back in the 1950s
Going to those New York City cocktail parties
With a tweed coat with patches and a slave
Playing that Edwardian English 19th
Century game of literary make-believe
And Truman Capote said I wasn't writing, I was typing
And now Truman Capote's gone up into the great jam session in the sky
While Jack's eleven books are in paperback
And make everyone not have to ask the question why
So for all of you here at Music Fest who want to write, paint, sing
Or get one more rototilling in before the fall comes
So you can be prepared for the next corn crop next spring
We're so glad to be here one more time again
And we hope until we come one more time back 'til then
We know that you want to have something spontaneity
Let's all pull our daisy
