| My Angeline My Angeline | F |
| Why didst disturb my mind serene | N |
| My well beloved circus queen | N |
| My Human Snake my Angeline | F |
| At night I'd wake at the midnight hour | O |

| A walking upon the ceiling | P |
| She said she was being the human fly | Q |
| And she'd lift me up from beneath | R |
| By a section slight of my garb of night | L |
| Which she held in her pearly teeth | R |
| For the sweet sweet sake of the Human Snake | E |
| I'd have stood this conduct shady | L |
| But she skipped in the end with an old old friend | L |
| An eminent bearded lady | L |
| But oh at night when my slumber's light | L |
| Regret comes o'er me stealing | P |
| For I miss the sound of those little feet | L |
| As they pattered along the ceiling | P |
