Folly’s Song

When wedding fiddles are a-playing,
      Huzza for folly O!
And when maidens go a-Maying,
      Huzza, etc.
When a milk-pail is upset,
      Huzza, etc.
And the clothes left in the wet,
      Huzza, etc.
When the barrel’s set abroach,
      Huzza, etc.
When Kate Eyebrow keeps a coach,
      Huzza, etc.
When the pig is over-roasted,
      Huzza, etc.
And the cheese is over-toasted.
      Huzza, etc.
When Sir Snap is with his lawyer.
      Huzza, etc.
And Miss Chip has kiss’d the sawyer;
      Huzza, etc.
