Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHDEFE JKLKMENE OPMPDENE| Is the house turned topsy turvy | A |
| Does it ring from street to roof | B |
| Will the racket still continue | C |
| Spite of all your mild reproof | B |
| Are you often in a flutter | D |
| Are you sometimes thrilled with joy | E |
| Then I have my grave suspicions | F |
| That you have at home that Boy | E |
| - | |
| Are your walls and tables hammered | G |
| Are your nerves and ink upset | H |
| Have two eyes so bright and roguish | I |
| Made you every care forget | H |
| Have your garden beds a prowler | D |
| Who delights but to destroy | E |
| These are well known indications | F |
| That you have at home that Boy | E |
| - | |
| Have you seen him playing circus | J |
| With his head upon the mat | K |
| And his heels in mid arm twinkling | L |
| For his audience the cat | K |
| Do you ever stop to listen | M |
| When his merry planks annoy | E |
| Listen to a voice that whispers | N |
| You were once just like that Boy | E |
| - | |
| Have you heard of broken windows | O |
| And with nobody to blame | P |
| Have you seen a trousered urchin | M |
| Quite unconscious of the same | P |
| Do you love a teasing mixture | D |
| Of perplexity and joy | E |
| You may have a dozen daughters | N |
| But I know you've got that Boy | E |
