There once was a Dormouse who lived in a bed	A
Of delphiniums blue and geraniums red	A
And all the day long he'd a wonderful view	B
Of geraniums red and delphiniums blue	B
	-
A Doctor came hurrying round and he said	A
Tut tut I am sorry to find you in bed	A
Just say 'Ninety nine' while I look at your chest	C
Don't you find that chrysanthemums answer the best	C
	-
The Dormouse looked round at the view and replied	D
When he'd said Ninety nine that he'd tried and he'd tried	D
And much the most answering things that he knew	B
Were geraniums red and delphiniums blue	B
	-
The Doctor stood frowning and shaking his head	A
And he took up his shiny silk hat as he said	A
What the patient requires is a change and he went	E
To see some chrysanthemum people in Kent	E
	-
The Dormouse lay there and he gazed at the view	B
Of geraniums red and delphiniums blue	B
And he knew there was nothing he wanted instead	A
Of delphiniums blue and geraniums red	A
	-
The Doctor came back and to show what he meant	E
He had brought some chrysanthemum cuttings from Kent	E
Now these he remarked give a much better view	B
Than geraniums red and delphiniums blue	B
	-
They took out their spades and they dug up the bed	A
Of delphiniums blue and geraniums red	A
And they planted chrysanthemums yellow and white	F
And now said the Doctor we'll soon have you right	F
	-
The Dormouse looked out and he said with a sigh	G
I suppose all these people know better than I	G
It was silly perhaps but I did like the view	B
Of geraniums red and delphiniums blue	B
	-
The Doctor came round and examined his chest	C
And ordered him Nourishment Tonics and Rest	C
How very effective he said as he shook	H
The thermometer all these chrysanthemums look	H
	-
The Dormouse turned over to shut out the sight	F
Of the endless chrysanthemums yellow and white	F
How lovely he thought to be back in a bed	A
Of delphiniums blue and geraniums red	A
	-
The Doctor said Tut It's another attack	I
And ordered him Milk and Massage of the back	I
And Freedom from worry and Drives in a car	J
And murmured How sweet your chrysanthemums are	J
	-
The Dormouse lay there with his paws to his eyes	K
And imagined himself such a pleasant surprise	K
I'll pretend the chrysanthemums turn to a bed	A
Of delphiniums blue and geraniums red	A
	-
The Doctor next morning was rubbing his hands	L
And saying There's nobody quite understands	L
These cases as I do The cure has begun	M
How fresh the chrysanthemums look in the sun	M
	-
The Dormouse lay happy his eyes were so tight	F
He could see no chrysanthemums yellow or white	F
And all that he felt at the back of his head	A
Were delphiniums blue and geraniums red	A
	-
And that is the reason Aunt Emily said	A
If a Dormouse gets in a chrysanthemum bed	A
You will find so Aunt Emily says that he lies	K
Fast asleep on his front with his paws to his eyes	K
