Twankydillo - Maddy Prior

Here’s a health to the jolly blacksmith, the best of all fellows

Who works at his anvil while the boy blows the bellows

Which makes his bright hammer to rise and to fall

Here’s to Old Cole and to Young Cole

And to Old Cole of all

Twankydillo, Twankydillo, Twankydillo-dillo-dillo-dillo

And a roaring pair of blow-pipes made from the green willow

Here’s a health to the pretty boy, the one I love best

Who kindles a fire all in my own breast

If a gentleman calls his horse to be shoed

He’ll make no denial of one pot or two

Here’s a health from us all, to our sovereign the Queen

And to all the Royal family, whereever they’re seen
