| Will soon be afloat on the main | B |
| Will be steaming away | A |
| Through the mist and the spray | A |
| To the sensuous climate of Spain | B |
| - | |
| Strange sights shall he see in that beautiful land | C |
| Which is famed for its soap and its Moor | D |
| For as we understand | C |
| The scenery is grand | C |
| Though the system of railways is poor | E |
| - | |
| For moonlight of silver and sunlight of gold | F |
| Glint the orchards of lemons and mangoes | G |
| And the ladies we're told | F |
| Are a joy to behold | F |
| As they twine in their lissome fandangoes | G |
| - | |
| What though our friend Dana shall twang a guitar | H |
| And murmur a passionate strain | B |
| Oh fairer by far | H |
| Than those ravishments are | H |
| The castles abounding in Spain | B |
| - | |
| These castles are built as the builder may list | I |
| They are sometimes of marble or stone | J |
| But they mostly consist | I |
| Of east wind and mist | I |
| With an ivy of froth overgrown | J |
| - | |
| A beautiful castle our Dana shall raise | G |
| On a futile foundation of hope | K |
| And its glories shall blaze | G |
| In the somnolent haze | G |
| Of the mythical lake del y Soap | K |
| - | |
| The fragrance of sunflowers shall swoon on the air | L |
| And the visions of Dreamland obtain | B |
| And the song of World's Fair | L |
| Shall be heard everywhere | L |
| Through that beautiful castle in Spain | B |
