First you get the buckets ready

Clean the pans and gather firewood

Late in the winter

It's maple syrup time

You need warm and sunny days

But still a cold and freezing nighttime

For just a few weeks

Maple syrup time

We boil and boil and boil

And boil it all day long

Till ninety seven percent of water

Evaporates just like this song

And when what is left is syrupy

Don't leave it too long

Keep up the fire

Maple syrup time

I know it's not the quickest system

But each year I can't resist it

Get out the buckets

And tap the trees in time

Making it is half the fun

And satisfaction when it's done

Keep up the fire

Maple syrup time

My grandpa says perhaps

It's just a waste of time

Ah but no more than

This attempt to make a happy little rhyme

So or swing your tail

But keep in

But keep in the time

Keep up the fire

Maple syrup time

I'll send this song around the world

With love to every boy and girl

Hoping they don't mind

A little advice in rhyme

Well find in life or revolution

Rarely is there a quick solution

Anything worthwhile takes a little time

We boil and boil and boil

And boil it all life long

When what is left is syrupy

Don't leave it on the flame too long

But seize the minute

Build a new world

Sing an old song

Keep up the fire

Maple syrup time

Keep up the fire

Maple syrup time

Keep up the fire

Maple syrup time

Keep up the fire

Maple syrup time
