🎶 Lyrics — The Lantern’s Laugh

Verse 1 (Lead)

By the lantern’s laugh and the tavern’s glow,
We lash our tales like sails and go,
Bring your coin and beat your feet,
Tonight the rafters meet the street.

Pre (Lead — build)

Stamp your heel and clap in time,
Let the fiddle spin the rhyme.

Chorus (Call & Response — stomp-clap ×2)
Lead: Sing it loud — light the lamp, raise a glass!
Crowd: Sing it loud — let the nights not pass! (stomp-clap)
Lead: Dance the bench and stomp the floor,
Crowd: One more round — and one more roar! (stomp-clap)

Verse 2 (Lead)

Old Jack will trade a ghostly yarn,
A lass will spin a coin and charm,
A fiddler’s grin will steal a tear,
And every stranger finds a cheer.
Pre (Lead)
Roll the bow and swell the drum,
Let the whistle call — the dance begun.

Chorus (Full)

Lead: Sing it loud — light the lamp, raise a glass!
Crowd: Sing it loud — let the nights not pass! (stomp-clap)
Lead: Spin your story, heave your song,
Crowd: One more round — all night long! (stomp-clap)
Instrumental Jig (fiddle lead — 16 bars with stomps & whistle accents)
Bridge / Chant (Call & Response — shouted, fun)
Lead (shout): Who’ll lead the reel and split the night?
Crowd (shout): We will! We will! (stomp ×4)
Lead: Who’ll lift the chorus till dawn breaks bright?
Crowd: We will! We will! (stomp ×4)

Verse 3 (Lead — playful)

If sorrow knocks at any door,
We’ll pour it out on tavern floor,
With claps and songs the dark’ll pass,
We’ll patch the heart and mend the glass.
Chorus (Huge — everyone + adlibs)
Lead: Sing it loud — light the lamp, raise a glass!
Crowd: Sing it loud — let the nights not pass! (stomp-clap)
Lead: Raise your voice and clear your throat,
Crowd: One more round — and another note! (stomp-clap)
(Adlibs: “Oi!”, “One more!”, whistles & whoops between lines)

Final Tag (fade)

Lead: Raise the lamp — raise the laugh —
Crowd: The lantern’s laugh — shall lead us aft… (hum & cheers → fade)
