| Since danced the merry star that shone | D |
| Above the babe Mark Twain | B |
| - | |
| How many and many a weary day | E |
| When sad enough were we 'Mark's way' | F |
| Unlike the Laureate's Mark's | G |
| Has made us laugh until we cried | H |

| Like Gargery Wot larx | G |

| We turn his pages and we see | G |
| The Mississippi flowing free | G |
| We turn again and grin | I |
| O'er all Tom Sawyer did and planned | J |

| With Huckleberry Finn | I |
| - | |
| Spirit of mirth whose chime of bells | G |
| Shakes on his cap and sweetly swells | G |
| Across the Atlantic main | B |
| Grant that Mark's laughter never die | K |
| That men through many a century | G |
| May chuckle o'er Mark Twain | B |
