The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke

He's a fairy feller Ah ah the fairy folk have gathered Round the new moon's 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 Plow man wagoner will' and types Politician with senatorial pipe He's a dilly dally oh Pedagogue squinting wears a frown And a satyr peers under lady's gown He's a dirty fellow What a dirty laddie-oh Tatterdemalion and the junketer There's a thief and a dragonfly trumpeter He's my hero ah Fairy dandy tickling the fancy Of his lady friend The nymph in yellow (can we see the master stroke) What a queer fellow Ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah Soldier sailor tinker tailor plow boy 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 queer fellow The ostler stares with hands on his knees Come on mister feller Crack it open of you please
