| Mr and Mrs Discobbolos | B |
| Climbed to the top of a wall | C |
| And they sate to watch the sunset sky | A |
| And to hear the Nupiter Piffkin cry | A |
| And the Biscuit Buffalo call | C |
| They took up a roll and some Camomile tea | D |
| And both were as happy as happy could be | D |
| Till Mrs Discobbolos said | E |
| 'Oh W X Y Z | D |
| 'It has just come into my head | E |
| 'Suppose we should happen to fall | C |
| 'Darling Mr Discobbolos | D |

| 'Suppose we should fall down flumpetty | E |
| 'Just like pieces of stone | F |
| 'On the thorns or into the moat | E |
| 'What would become of your new green coat | E |
| 'And might you not break a bone | F |
| 'It never occurred to me before | G |
| 'That perhaps we shall never go down any more ' | - |
| And Mrs Discobbolos said | E |
| 'Oh W X Y Z | D |
| 'What put it into your head | E |
| 'To climb up this wall my own | F |
| 'Darling Mr Discobbolos ' | - |

| Mr Discobbolos answered | E |
| 'At first it gave me pain | H |
| 'And I felt my ears turn perfectly pink | I |
| 'When your exclamation made me think | I |
| 'We might never get down again | J |
| 'But now I believe it is wiser far | K |
| 'To remain for ever just where we are ' | - |
| And Mr Discobbolos said | E |
| 'Oh W X Y Z | D |
| 'It has just come into my head | E |
| ' We shall never go down again | J |
| 'Dearest Mrs Discobbolos ' | - |

| So Mr and Mrs Discobbolos | D |
| Stood up and began to sing | L |
| 'Far away from hurry and strife | - |
| 'Here we will pass the rest of life | - |
| 'Ding a dong ding dong ding | L |
| 'We want no knives nor forks nor chairs | D |
| 'No tables nor carpets nor household cares | D |
| 'From worry of life we've fled | E |
| 'Oh W X Y Z | D |
| 'There is no more trouble ahead | E |
| 'Sorrow or any such thing | L |
| 'For Mr and Mrs Discobbolos ' | - |
