Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's a fairy feller
[Verse 2]
The fairy folk have gathered 'round the new-moon shine
To see the feller crack a nut at night's noon-time
To swing his axe he swears
As he climbs he dares
To deliver the Master-Stroke
[Verse 3]
Ploughman, "Waggoner Will", and types
Politician with senatorial pipe
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
[Verse 4]
Soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor, ploughboy
Waiting to hear the sound
And the arch-magician presides
He is the leader
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
The ostler stares with hands on his knees
Come on Mr. Feller, crack it open if you please
