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
