Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHCC AIAICC| If you walk in the bush at night | A |
| In the wonderful silence deep | B |
| By the flickering lantern light | A |
| When the birds are all asleep | B |
| You may catch a sight of old Skinny go root | C |
| Otherwise Benjamin Bandicoot | C |
| - | |
| With a snout that can delve and dig | D |
| With claws that are strong as steel | E |
| He roots like a pigmy pig | D |
| To get his evening meal | E |
| For creeping creatures and worms and roots | F |
| Are highly relished by bandicoots | F |
| - | |
| Under the grass and the fern | G |
| He fashions his beaten track | H |
| With many a twist and turn | G |
| That wanders and doubles back | H |
| And dogs that think they are most astute | C |
| Are baffled by Benjamin Bandicoot | C |
| - | |
| In the depth of the darkest night | A |
| Without a star in the sky | I |
| He'll come to look at a light | A |
| And scientists wonder why | I |
| If the bush is burning it's time to scoot | C |
| Is the notion of Benjamin Bandicoot | C |
