Dramatis Personae:
Triangle: Three Enthusiastic Pickers and Eaters of Strawberries

lyrics

Of all months in the calendar, the best month is June,
and the best day is Saturday, on a bright afternoon,
and the best place is Trimley, in Suffolk's fair land,
where the strawberries cluster like grapes in the hand.
Come, London, raise your glasses
and drink a toast so fine,
to the rubies of Suffolk, that are sweeter than red wine.

Too long was the winter, the days dark and drear,
too cold and too sullen was the spring of the year,
till June comes at last, to our kind mother Earth,
bringing light, warmth and sunshine
to the land of our birth.
Come, London, raise your glasses ...

Too hard is my work and too long are the days
that I spend down in London, the mortgage to raise,
till the sweet day returns, and with light steps I go
to Gosling's in Trimley, where the strawberries grow.
Come, London, raise your glasses ...

To the jewel of the earth in the land we love best,
to the queen of all berries, outshining the rest,
to our fields and our sky, and our kind mother Earth
that gave us such riches in the land of our birth.
Come, London, raise your glasses ...

Triangle England, UK

To say we are “an all-female, three piece a cappella band” identifies us, but does not describe us. Our themes mostly revolve around beer, religion, politics and things that go bump in the night - in no particular order. And we don't just stand there in a row singing, either; we act the songs out as melodies switch from one line to another. ... more
