Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCDDEFFE GGEEEHHEFFE IIJJJEEEFFE| To the woods to the woods is the wizard gone | A |
| In his grotto the maiden sits alone | B |
| She gazes up with a weary smile | C |
| At the rafter hanging crocodile | C |
| The slowly swinging crocodile | C |
| Scorn has she of her master's gear | D |
| Cauldron alembic crystal sphere | D |
| Phial philtre Fiddlededee | E |
| For all such trumpery trash quo' she | F |
| A soldier is the lad for me | F |
| Hey and hither my lad | E |

| Oh here have I ever lain forlorn | G |
| My father died ere I was born | G |
| Mother was by a wizard wed | E |
| And oft I wish I had died instead | E |
| Often I wish I were long time dead | E |
| But delving deep in my master's lore | H |
| I have won of magic power such store | H |
| I can turn a skull oh fiddlededee | E |
| For all this curious craft quo' she | F |
| A soldier is the lad for me | F |
| Hey and hither my lad | E |
| - | |
| To bring my brave boy unto my arms | I |
| What need have I of magic charms | I |
| 'Abracadabra ' and 'Prestopuff' | J |
| I have but to wish and that is enough | J |
| The charms are vain one wish is enough | J |
| My master pledged my hand to a wizard | E |
| Transformed would I be to toad or lizard | E |
| If e'er he guessed but fiddlededee | E |
| For a black browed sorcerer now quo' she | F |
| Let Cupid smile and the fiend must flee | F |
| Hey and hither my lad | E |
