Oh my old master left me alone It's time to unleash thee To my will they shall obey Spirits you'll be freed
Go, I say Go on your way Do not tarry Water carry Let it flow abundantly And prepare a bath for me
Come on now, old broom, get dressed These rags will do just fine You're a slave in any case And today you will be mine
To the bank he's running fast Quick as lightning to the river Now he's filling cup for cup Can't stop the deliver
Stop stand still Heed my will I've enough Of that stuff I've forgotten - woe is me What the magic word may be
Is the end Not in sight? I will grab you Hold you tight
With my axe, I split the brittle Old wood smartly, down the middle And they're running wet and wetter Get the stairs, the room, the hall What a deluge, what a flood Lord and master hear my call
Back now broom Down the floor Be as thou Were before Until I, the old master Call thee forth, to serve once more
