Full description:
This works well if you lean into the rhythm of the chorus rather than trying to match every lyric exactly:
(Turn around)
Every now and then, the Moon blocks out a little of the Sun.
(Turn around)
Every now and then, we all go for an evening walk for fun.
(Turn around)
From Fox House we'll head north along the length of Burbage Edge.
(Turn around)
Down Fiddler's Elbow, up to Higher Tor, then on to Carl Wark's ledge.
(Turn around)
Then we'll make our way back to the pub just after dark.
And I need you to bring a headtorch.
And I need you to dress for the weather.
Together we can make it if we all keep up the pace.
We'll be walking through a partial eclipse... with a smile upon our face!
