| Hill and hollow | C |
| Fosse and burrow | C |
| Fen and furrow | C |
| Down into the bulrush beds | D |
| 'Midst the reeds and osier heads | D |
| In the rushy soaking damps | E |
| Where the vapours pitch their camps | E |
| Follow me follow me | A |
| For a midnight ramble | B |
| O what a mighty fog | F |
| What a merry night O ho | C |

| Rotten log | H |
| Spotted frog | F |
| Beetle bright | I |

| Soon shall I be down below | C |
| Plunging with a grey fat friar | C |
| Hither thither to and fro | C |
| Breathing mists and whisking lamps | E |
| Plashing in the shiny swamps | N |
| While my cousin Lantern Jack | O |
| With cook ears and cunning eyes | P |
| Turns him round upon his back | O |
| Daubs him oozy green and black | O |
| Sits upon his rolling size | P |
| Where he lies where he lies | P |
| Groaning full of sack | O |
| Staring with his great round eyes | P |
| What a joy O ho | C |
| Sits upon him in the swamps | N |
| Breathing mists and whisking lamps | E |
| What a joy O ho | C |
| Such a lad is Lantern Jack | O |
| When he rides the black nightmare | C |
| Through the fens and puts a glare | C |
| In the friar's track | O |
| Such a frolic lad good lack | O |
| To turn a friar on his back | O |
| Trip him clip him whip him nip him | Q |
| Lay him sprawling smack | O |
| Such a lad is Lantern Jack | O |
| Such a tricksy lad good lack | O |
| What a joy O ho | C |
| Follow me follow me | A |
| Where he sits and you shall see | A |
