Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the hemp hornpipe

Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the hemp hornpipe
When last we talked, a bandit tried
and judged to death for ignominious deed
was required for the regicide
and yet I do not see the need.

Then let us seek out someone ripe
To dance for us the hemp hornpipe.
