All Through the (Winnipeg Folk Festival) Night

Sleep, my friends, and peace attend you
All through the night
From the bugs may DEET defend you
All through the night
May your lantern safely light you
No ill dreams or drums affright you
May the blackflies never bite you
All through the night

May the breeze blow gently o'er you
All through the night
May the moon shine brightly for you
All through the night
Take you no unwitting dose of
Substance toxic or corrosive
Noxious, nasty or explosive
All through the night

Sweet your slumbers, and refreshing
All through the night
May your doorzips all be meshing
All through the night
If the weather turn vexatious
May your tent-stakes be tenacious
And your rain-fly efficacious
All through the night

May your coolers never wander
All through the night
Boneheads camp 'way over yonder
All through the night
Fear no festal prank felonious
No discussion acrimonious
May your howlers be harmonious
All through the night

There. The tune should be tolerably obvious, since I've only altered the title parenthetically. This one was fun to sing in harmony; the year it was written, we went over and sang it to Safety Services, who were much amused. They said they'd never been serenaded before. We said that that was exactly why we did it.
