Our own Madge will marry soon.
Pipe the playful flageolet;
Blast the ear with the gay cornet;
Blow the tuba, strike the lyre;
Light the heavens with red fire;
Make merry with the big bassoon—
Our own Madge will marry soon.
Scrape the gut of the violin;
Loud Hosannah’s sing with vim;
Beat the merry Zilophone;
