In the castle cats are singing br Frogs discoursing in the well br Crows reciting verses br While the drunkard rings the bell. br br In the courtyard someone's reading br While the wizard casts his spell br Also there's a lady laughing br While the drunkard rings the bell. br br I am there and you are there br We hear a madman's yell br But the lady keeps on laughing br While the drunkard rings the bell.
