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
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
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
