The Glugs abide in a far far land	A
That is partly pebbles and stones and sand	A
But mainly earth of a chocolate hue	B
When it isn't purple or slightly blue	B
And the Glugs live there with their aunts and their wives	C
In draughty tenements built like hives	C
And they climb the trees when the weather is wet	D
To see how high they can really get	D
Pray don't forget	D
This is chiefly done when the weather is wet	D
	-
And every shadow that flits and hides	E
And every stream that glistens and glides	E
And laughs its way from a highland height	F
All know the Glugs quite well by sight	F
And they say 'Our test is the best by far	G
For a Glug is a Glug so there you are	G
And they climb the trees when it drizzles or hails	H
To get electricity into their nails	H
And the Glug that fails	H
Is a luckless Glug if it drizzles or hails '	-
	-
Now the Glugs abide in the Land of Gosh	I
And they work all day for the sake of Splosh	I
For Splosh the First is the Nation's pride	J
And King of the Glugs on his uncle's side	J
And they sleep at night for the sake of rest	K
For their doctors say this suits them best	K
And they climb the trees as a general rule	L
For exercise when the weather is cool	L
They're taught at school	L
To climb the trees when the weather is cool	L
	-
And the whispering grass on the gay green hills	M
And every cricket that skirls and shrills	M
And every moonbeam gleaming white	F
All know the Glugs quite well by sight	F
And they say 'It is safe the text we bring	N
For a Glug is an awfully Glug like thng	N
And they climb the trees when there's sign of fog	N
To scan the land for a feasible dog	N
They love to jog	N
Through dells in quest of the feasible dog '	-
	-
Now the Glugs eat meals three times a day	O
Because their fathers ate that way	O
And their grandpas said the scheme was good	P
To help the Glugs digest their food	Q
And it's wholesome food the Glugs have got	R
For it says so plain on the tin and pot	R
And they climb the trees when the weather is dry	S
To get a glimpse of the pale green sky	S
We don't know why	S
But they love to gaze on the pale green sky	S
	-
And every cloud that sails aloft	T
And every breeze that blows so soft	U
And every star that shines at night	F
All know the Glugs quite well by sight	F
For they say 'Our text is safe and true	B
What one Glug does the other Glugs do	B
And they climb the trees when the weather is hot	R
For a birds' eye view of the garden plot	R
Of course it's rot	R
But they love that view of the garden plot '	-
	-
At half past two on a Wednesday morn	V
A most peculiar Glug was born	V
And later on when he grew a man	W
He scoffed and sneered at the Chosen Plan	W
'It's wrong ' said this Glug whose name was Joi	X
'Bah ' said the Glugs 'He's a crazy boy '	-
And they climbed the trees as the West wind stirred	Y
To hark to the note of the guffer bird	Y
It seems absurd	Y
But they're awfully fond of the guffer bird	Y
	-
And every reed that rustles and sways	M
By the gurgling river that plashes and plays	M
And the beasts of the dread neurotic night	F
All know the Glugs quite well by sight	F
And 'Why ' say they 'it is easily done	Z
For a dexter Glug's like a sinister one	Z
And they climb the trees when the thunder rolls	M
To soddenly salve their small pale souls	M
For they fear the coals	M
That threaten to frizzle their pale pink souls '	-
	-
Said the Glug called Joi 'This climbing trees	M
Is a foolish art and things like these	M
Cause much distress in the land of Gosh	I
Let's stay on the ground and kill King Splosh '	-
But Splosh the King he smiled a smile	A2
And beckoned once to his hangman Guile	A2
Who climbed a tree when the weather was calm	B2
And they hanged poor Joi on a snufflebust palm	B2
Then sang a psalm	C2
Did those pious Glugs 'neath the sufflebust palm	B2
	-
	-
And every bee that kisses a flower	D2
And every blossom born for an hour	D2
And ever bird on its gladsome flight	F
All know the Glugs quite well by sight	F
For they say ''Tis a simple text we've got	R
If you know one Glug why you know the lot	R
So they climbed a tree in the burgeoning Spring	N
And they hanged poor Joi with some second hand string	N
It's a horrible thing	N
To be hanged by Glugs with second hand string	N
	-
Then Splosh the king rose up and said	E2
'It's not polite but he safer dead	E2
And there's not much room in th eland of Gosh	I
For a Glug named Joi and a king named Splosh '	-
And ever Glug flung high his hat	F2
And cried 'We're Glugs And you can't change that '	-
So they climbed the trees since the weather was cold	G2
As their great grandmothers climbed of old	G2
We are not told	G2
Why Grandma climbed when the weather was cold	G2
	-
And every cloud that sails the blue	B
And every dancing sunbeam too	B
And every spakling dewdropp bright	F
All know the Glugs quite well by sight	F
'We tell ' say they 'by a simple test	K
For any old Glug is like the rest	K
And they climb the trees when there's weather about	H2
In a general way as a cure for gout	H2
Though some folk doubt	H2
If the climbing of trees is good for gout '	-
