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 axe he swears
As it climbs he dares to deliver...
The master stroke

Ploughman, Waggoner Will, and types
Politician with senatorial pipe
He's a dilly dally-o
Pedagouge squinting, wears a frown
And the satyr peers under lady's gown,
Dirty fellow
What a dirty laddio
Tatterdemalion and a junketeer
There's a thief and a dragonfly trumpeter
He's my hero
Fairy dandy tickling the fancy
Of his lady friend
The nymph is 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
