Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDDEEC FGHIJKKEEJ EELLLIIEEL LLLLLEELL| Oh is there not one place on earth | A |
| Where man's goodwill has gone from birth | A |
| Thro' adolescence with its rage | B |
| Into a kindly mellow age | B |
| A tolerant maturity | C |
| Mayhap some tropic coral isle | D |
| Where even man no more is vile | D |
| If such a place be anywhere | E |
| Ah take me there Ah take me there | E |
| And let me know security | C |
| - | |
| Is there no haven heaven bent | F |
| Where economic argument | G |
| Falls flat where war and talk of | H |
| Are with forgotten things of yore | I |
| Anachronistic oddities | J |
| Where mankind's mental food is peace | K |
| And bliss and brotherhood increase | K |
| If such a place be anywhere | E |
| Ah take me there Ah take me there | E |
| And feed me such commodities | J |
| - | |
| Where phonograph or wireless blare | E |
| Is never on the ambient air | E |
| And calm night follows placid day | L |
| As silent seasons steal away | L |
| Tuned to a sweet tranquillity | L |
| Where never 'mid the traffie's roar | I |
| Red Death claims yet one victim more | I |
| If such a place be anywhere | E |
| Ah take me there Ah take me there | E |
| I go with meek docility | L |
| - | |
| Where tender sky to placid sea | L |
| Bends down in perfect harmony | L |
| Where mute nymphs in a smiling bandy | L |
| Come as I loll on silvery sand | L |
| And bent upon adoring me | L |
| Pass soothing fingers thro' my hair | E |
| Were such a land and were I there | E |
| I should arise and yawn and say | L |
| 'Take me away Take me away | L |
| This deadly dump is boring me ' | - |
