The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke (Remastered 2011)

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 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, 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

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
