Old father hudson now we sit us down
Ye winds and waters come and gather 'round

We've had some good eating
Now we sit us down
So let's start the meeting
Come and gather 'round

Mighty full agenda now we sit us down
It's a real mind bender!
Come and gather 'round
But if we all choose our words well
Now we sit us down
We'll avoid the too-long talker's hell
Come and gather 'round
