On old spirits day
Rub your face with red clay
And go out for a full night of gooning
As you wander and stray
You should howl, growl and bray
Making sure that your voice is a booming
But as the sky starts to gloam
You must return home
Don’t get too wrapped up in your funs
Your goonaunties have combed
All the scabs from their domes
And the first child home gets the sweet ones
