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

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

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
