Traditional End of Crush Song

Now that the Harvest & Crush are over, it's time to sing the traditional "end of harvest" song. For Morovino, this is sung to the tune of 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford.

Chorus:

You press 15 tons and what do you get A little bit tipsy and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you call me, Cuz I can't go! I'm making wine for Morovino.

There's a flat bed comin' Better step aside Takin' 6 one-ton bins of grapes for a ride Load into the crusher, No, we don't use no toes! When we're makin' wine for Morovino!

I need 16 barrels of the finest French oak, oh la la they are pricey, and that aint no joke On a slow boat from France, Will they get here, oh no! I need them in time to make Morovino

It takes 18 months to make it taste fine But lord I can't wait so I head to the wine And I pull a taste of our great Dolcetto Now I'm tasting wine at Morovino!

I'm taaaaaassssstting wiiiiiiiiineee
At More O Vee No!
