Lyrics

To see Mad Tom of Bedlam
 Ten thousand miles I've travelled
 Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
 To save her shoes from gravel
 It's well that we sing bonnie boys
 Bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare, and they live in the air
 And they want no drink nor money
 I went down to Satan's Kitchen
 For to break my fast one morning
 And there I got souls piping hot
 All on the spit a-turning
 It's well that we sing bonnie boys
 Bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare, and they live in the air
 And they want no drink nor money
 A spirit howled as lightning
 Did on that journey guide me
 The sun did shake and the pale moon quake
 Wherever they did spy me
 And it's well that we sing bonnie boys
 Bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare, and they live in the air
 And they want no drink nor money
 ♪
 My staff has murdered giants
 And my pack a long knife carries
 For to slice mince pies from children's thighs
 From which to feed the faeries
 It's well that we sing bonnie boys
 Bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare, and they live in the air
 And they want no drink nor money
 Tonight I'll go a-murdering
 The man in the moon to a powder
 His dog I'll shake and his staff I'll break
 And I'll howl a wee bit louder
 It's well that we sing bonnie boys
 Bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare, and they live in the air
 And they want no drink nor money
 ♪
 To see Mad Tom of Bedlam
 Ten thousand miles I've travelled
 Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
 To save her shoes from gravel
 It's well that we sing bonnie boys
 Bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare, and they live in the air
 And they want no drink nor money
