Pixies at the Tavern
Song lyrics by Joplin

Pixies three from Tweedle Dee
went down to the Duck and Goose.
They came for the ale,
they came for the wine,
and they let their arrows loose.

They bent their bows at their human foes
and put them all to sleep.
They tasted the beer,
they sampled the wine
while their hosts made not a peep.

From Tweedle Dee in the big oak tree
with a “hey” and a “ho” and “ya don’t say so”
the Pixies came and now they won’t go
back to the old oak tree.

The folks nearby, with a worried eye
watched their kinfolk snore.
“We’ll hire a male,
to get back our ale,
and show those pixies the door.”

So they hired a mage for an exorbitant wage
who went to the tavern door.
But the pixies were singing,
and dancing, and winging,
And the mage, he wanted more.

From Tweedle Dee in the big oak tree
with a “hey” and a “ho” and “ya don’t say so”
the Pixies came and now they won’t go
back to the old oak tree.

Now the mage is drunk as the proverbial skunk
and the pixies are having a ball.
The townsfolk are crying,
and some of them sighing,
“we’ll get the pub back when they’ve drunken it all.”
