The weavers are worse than the bishops
Every Monday they have a jolly time

And tip and tap, and tip and tap
Is it too coarse? Is it too fine?
Late in bed, early to rise,
In plying the shuttle good times will come.

Every Monday they have a jolly time
On Tuesday they have a headache.

On Tuesday they have a headache
On Wednesday they go to load their looms.

On Wednesday they go to load their looms
On Thursday they go to see their mistress.

On Thursday they go to see their mistress
On Friday they work without ceasing.

On Friday they work without ceasing
On Saturday their place is not quite finished.

On Saturday their place is not quite finished
And on Sunday money is needed, master.
