Rattle

Hey! No time for that, No time for fun
No time for playing, there's work to be done

Don't play with the silverware, the reflections you've seen
Go outside with this rag, and polish it clean.

Hey! No time for that, No time for fun
No time for playing, there's work to be done

Put down your linen, your silks and your jewels
Go fetch the benches, the seats and the stools

Hey! No time for that, No time for fun
No time for playing, there's work to be done

Stop stealing titbits from under my eye
Or you'll be bloated, too full to eat by and by

Hey! No time for that, No time for fun
No time for playing, there's work to be done

Put down that sackbutt, that crumhorn, that shawm
I need this floor sweeping clean before dawn

Hey! No time for that, No time for fun
No time for playing, there's work to be done

Stop practicing dance steps; slow, quick-quick, slow
There's bread to be made: hey you, knead this dough

Hey! No time for that, No time for fun
No time for playing, there's work to be done
