He's a fairy feller The fairy folk have gathered round the new moon shine To see the feller crack a nut at nights noon time To swing his ace he swears, as it climbs he dares To deliver... The master-stroke
Ploughman, "waggoner will", and types Politician with senatorial pope - he's a dilly-dally-o Pedagogue squinting, wears a frown And a satyr peers under lady's gown, dirty fellow What a dirty laddio Tatterdemalion and a 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
Soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor, ploughboy Waiting to hear the sound And the arch-magician presides He is the leader Oberon and titania watched by a 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 stares with hands on his knees Come on mr. feller, crack it open if you please
