| We stood at the tee and the driver we swung | B |
| Then we put back the turf | A |
| At the ball then a thing called the 'mashie ' we flung | B |
| Then we put back the turf | A |
| 'There's a fine mid iron shot I am sure you can do ' | - |
| Said a friend 'you should get on the green then in two ' | - |

| Where we put back the turf | A |
| From the fifth to the ninth it's as plain as can be | H |
| Where we put back the turf | A |
| And we answered when asked as we sat at a meal | I |
| Our honest opinion of golf to reveal | I |
| 'It's great but it's terribly hard on the heel | I |
| When you put back the turf ' | - |
