Mooncakes

Stuff, roll, press, smack

Stuff, roll, press, smack

Sift the flour, let the eggs crack

Knead the dough on every hour

Then we start it all again

Stuff, roll, press, smack

Stuff, roll, press, smack

Form the dough around the filling

Brush with egg and please no spilling

What a lovely gift they are

And there's tradition in these mooncakes

And we make every one with care

Then we bake them full of fondness

Sweetness lofting through the air

And there is magic in these mooncakes

You can feel it all around

Mooncakes where the magic is found

We need five more

Or maybe twelve because I've got the cousins coming

And you know just how they are

They love these cakes

So I think you better give me twenty more

Each one holds a message

From the moon above

Cherish life and everything you love

Magic in these mooncakes

Magic in these mooncakes

Hidden in these mooncakes for you

Now the leaves are changing

Soon the festival begins

Such a special feeling

Magic in these mooncakes

Hidden in these mooncakes for you

And there are memories in these mooncakes

All the moments shared with you

All the stories that you told me

Mama, make me think of you

Magic in these memories

Forever I hold true

Mooncakes and the memories of you
