| Till I dream at night of a great black row | C |
| Of goblin 'musn'ts' with monstrous eyes | D |
| That stare at me in a shocked surprise | D |
| Oh I hope I will live to see the day | B |
| When some one will say to me 'Dear you may ' | - |
| For I'm sick of 'musn'ts ' said Dorthy D | A |
| Sick of musn'ts as I can be | A |
