All Around The Table
Words and Music by Bob Padgett
November, 2004—Stony Brook, NY
©2004 Clamchop Creative Studio

for all the men of Hegeman, past, present, and future


refrain:
We’re all around the table now
Gathered round with hungry eyes
With hearts made full and smiles so wide
Cause we’re all around the table now

Oblong sphere moving down the field
Just 4 downs for the touchdown yield
So much longer till adults are healed
Soon we’ll gather round the table now

Homeward bound in bruised array
But Mama’s ready to save the day
That homemade cocoa soothes away
All that keeps us from the table now

Volunteers, with all their might
Couches move—make it all just right
Many hands, so the work is light
Soon we’ll gather round the table now

refrain

Tables drawn from all four winds
A procession of chairs down the stairway winds
Feasting visions fill their minds—
We’ll be soon around the table now

Kings and Queens—their places saved,
Straight flush in diamonds laid,
A pair of aces at the head
And we’re all around the table now

Corn and spinach, broccoli spears
Potatoes, stuffing, decked in tiers
Mortimer comes out with cheers
As we’re all around the table now

refrain

Though the feast’s precisely laid,
It won’t be complete till the boys have prayed
The anointed one—his blessing made...
And we’re all around the table now.

For a house so blessed, so free from strife,
For all the Kens God put in my life,
And most of all, my precious wife,
We give thanks around the table now

I lay down that night and shed a tear—
What a home, what a family dear
Have to wait another year
Till we’re all around the table

refrain
