| Ah no I will not let you in | C |
| Stay rather at the gates and weep | D |
| For all the splendour that I keep | D |
| The treasures that you cannot win | C |

| While you desire and I refuse | E |
| For both the palace still is here | F |
| Its turrets gold its silver gear | G |
| Are yours to wish for mine to use | H |

| But if I let you in I know | I |
| The spell would break the palace fade | J |
| And we stand trembling and afraid | J |
| Lost in the dark where chill winds blow | I |
