| And Bottle Tree fruit as I've heard people say | B |
| Makes bellies of Bottle Tree babies expand | D |
| And that is a trick I would fain understand | D |
| Heigh ho for a bottle to day | B |
| And heigh ho for a bottle to night | D |
| A bottle of milk that is creamy and white | D |
| So cuddle me close and cuddle me fast | D |
| And cuddle me snug in my cradle away | B |
| For I hunger and thirst for that precious repast | D |
| Heigh ho for a bottle I say | B |
