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

Stuff, roll, press, smack! (We need five more)

Stuff, roll, press, smack!

(Or maybe twelve because I've got the cousins coming)

Sift the flour, let the eggs crack

(And you know just how they are)

Knead the dough on every hour (They love these cakes)

(So I think you better give me twenty more)

Then we start it all again

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

Magic 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
