When leaves are all turning bright orange and red
And it’s time for the rakes to come out of our shed…
Sukkot is on its way.
When squirrels and their friends carry food that they’ve found
To store in the trees and in dens underground…
Sukkot is on its way.

When our guest smell the etrog’s bright lemony zest
And the lulav is waved north and south, east and west…
When the sunlight’s grown dim as it quickly turns night
And we’re snug in our sukkah with moonbeams for light…
Sukkot is here!
