He's a fairy feller

The fairy folk have gathered round the new moons shine

To see the feller crack a nut at night's noon time

To swing his axe he swear's

As he climbs he dare's

To deliver - the master stroke



Ploughman "Waggoner Will" and types

Politician with senatorial pipe

He's a dilly dally oh

Pedagogue squinting wears a frown

And a satyr peers under ladies gown

He's a dirty fellow

What a dirty laddio



Tatterdemalion and the junketer

There's a thief and a dragonfly trumpeter

He's my hero

Fairy dandy tickling the fancy

Of his lady friend

The nymph in yellow (can we see the master stroke)

What a quaere fellow



Ah ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah ah

Soldier sailor tinker tailor ploughboy

Waiting to hear the sound

And the arch magician presides

He is the leader



Oberon and Titania watched by harridan

Mab is the queen and there's a good apothecary man

Come to say hello

Fairy dandy tickling the fancy

Of his lady friend

The nymph in yellow

What a quaere fellow

The ostler stands with hands on his knee's

Come on mister feller

Crack it open if you please
