The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke (Live At The Rainbow, London - March 1974) [Cleaned by Vacuuman]
The fairy folk had gathered 'round the new moon shine To see a feller crack a nut a night's noon time To swing his ax, he swears As it climbs, he dares To deliver... The master stroke
Ploughman, waggoner wheel, and types Politician with senatorial pipe 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
Taterdamaellion and a junketer There's a thief and a dragonfly trumpeter He's my hero
Fairy dandy, tickling the fancy of his lady's 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's friend The nymph in yellow What a quaere fellow
The ostler stands with hands on his knees Come on, mister feller, crack it open if you please
