Tho' I own I have no adequate proofs	A
Of this queer tale of the quaint old Goophs	A
The Goophs who dwelt in the land of Guph	B
Still I think it's a credible tale enough	B
When applied to Goophs tho' it's realised	C
That it couldn't occur to the civilised	C
Sane men like us for it's quite absurd	C
And the silliest tale that ever you heard	C
To us 'tis a fantasy vain But then	D
Of course we're superior normal men	D
	-
Now a peaceful Gooph when a stroll one day	C
Looked over a fence in a casual way	C
And realised he was staring hard	C
At a pile of stones in a neighbor's yard	C
'Now what ' thought he 'are the stones there for '	-
Then he suddenly shouted 'My this means war	E
That pile in there is the very stuff	B
We use for war in the land of Guph '	-
And from that day forth his strength was spent	C
In gathering stones for armament	C
	-
Now the Goophs who heard him were sore afright	C
And the news spread forth in a single night	C
Wild rumors grew till the land was rife	B
With tales of terror and coming strife	B
And every Gooph hied forth in haste	C
To gather him stones from wood and waste	C
From the hills afar and fields near by	F
Till the price of stones went up sky high	F
And they said 'War's madness It can't make sense	A
But a Gooph must look to his self defence '	-
	-
Commerce languished production waned	C
Goophish relations grew co d and strained	C
And there wasn't a stone in Guph at all	G
To build a house or a church or a wall	G
Each sat on his pile in his own backyard	C
And talked and shouted and argued hard	C
Of nations and factions in 'isms' and schools	A
There is never a doubt of it Goophs were fools	A
Then someone foolishly heaved a rock	H
And their world blew up with a horrible shock	H
	-
Then their costly stones they flung to the air	I
With great abandon and little care	I
These stones they valued they cast them about	C
Till a number of Goophs were knocked right out	C
And the land of Guph grew loud with groans	A
And the end of it all was a litter of stones	A
And nobody knew what they started it for	E
And nobody profited Still 'twas war	E
Mere Guphic insanity Goophish fuss	A
And of course it couldn't occur to us	A
