[Verse 1]
G First you get the buckets ready, clean the pans and gather firewood, Am D G D Late in the winter, it's maple syrup time. G You need warm and sunny days but still a cold and freezing nighttime Am D G For just a few weeks, maple syrup time. Am D G We boil and boil and boil and boil it all day long, Am D G Till ninety seven percent of water evaporates just like this song Am D G And when what is left is syrupy don't leave it too long Am D G Watch out for burning! Maple syrup time.
[Verse 2]
G I know it's not the quickest system but each year I can't resist it. Am D G D Get out the buckets, and tap the trees in time G Making it is half the fun, and satisfaction when it's done. Am D G Keep up the fire! Maple syrup time. Am D G My grandpa says perhaps it's just a waste of time. Am D G Ah! but no more than this attempt to make a happy little rhyme, Am D G So pat your feet or swing your tail, but keep in good time. Am D G Keep up the fire! Maple syrup time.
[Verse 3]
G I'll send this song around the world with love to every boy and girl, Am D G D Hoping they don't mind a little advice in rhyme. G As in life or revolution, rarely is there a quick solution, Am D G Anything worthwhile takes a little time. Am D G We boil and boil and boil and boil it all day long. Am D G When what is left is syrupy, don't leave it on the flame too long. Am D G But seize the minute, build a new world, sing an old song. Am D G Keep up the fire! Maple syrup time Am D G Keep up the fire! Maple syrup time
