[Verse, Fairy Queen]
Henceforth, Strephon, cast away
Crooks and pipes and ribbons so gay —
Flocks and herds that bleat and low;
Into Parliament you shall go!

[Chorus, Fairies/Peers]
Into Parliament he shall go!
Backed by our/their supreme authority
He'll command a large majority!
Into Parliament, into Parliament
Parliament, Parliament, he shall go!
Into Parliament he shall go!
Into Parliament, into Parliament
Parliament, Parliament, he shall go!
Into Parliament he shall go!

[Verse, Fairy Queen]
In the Parliamentary hive
Liberal or Conservative —
Whig or Tory — I don't know —
But into Parliament you shall go!

[Chorus, Fairies/Peers]
Into Parliament he shall go!
Backed by our/their supreme authority
Hе'll command a large majority!
Into Parliament, P-A-arliament
PA-R Parliamеnt, he shall go!
Into Parliament he shall go!
Into Parliament, into Parliament
Parliament, Parliament, he shall go!
Into Parliament he shall go!
[Spoken, Fairy Queen]
Every bill and every measure
That may gratify his pleasure
Though your fury it arouses
Shall be passed by both your Houses!
[Peers]
Oh!
[Fairy Queen]
You shall sit, if he sees reason
Through the grouse and salmon season
[Peers]
No!
[Fairy Queen]
He shall end the cherished rights
You enjoy on Friday nights
[Peers]
No!
[Fairy Queen]
He shall prick that annual blister
Marriage with deceased wife's sister
[Peers]
Mercy!
[Fairy Queen]
Titles shall ennoble, then
All the Common Councilmen
[Peers]
Spare us!
[Fairy Queen]
Peers shall teem in Christendom
And a Duke's exalted station
Be attainable by Competitive Examination!
[Sung, Peers]
Oh, horror!
[Fairies]
Their horror!
They can't dissemble
Nor hide the fear that makes them tremble!
