The Shojo Temple garden
Is full of moonlight.  Come,
Come out and join our badger friends
Drumming on their tum-tum-tum.

Don’t let the priest do better than you.
Come, make the party hum!
O don’t let the priest do better than you.
Everybody, come, come, come!

The Shojo Temple flowers
To their full bloom here come,
And we’re all as merry as the moon-mad badgers
Drumming on their tum-tum-tum.
