Rhyme Scheme: AABCCCCAAABB DEFDEECCAAGGGEEH AIAIAEEEIIAA JJKLLKKMCCCCMAANKAA| Oh the rare exhilaration | A |
| Oh the novel delectation | A |
| Of a ride down the slide | B |
| Packed like ice in zero weather | C |
| Pleasure seekers close together | C |
| On a board as thin as wafer | C |
| Barely wider scarcely safer | C |
| At the height of recreation | A |
| Find a glorious inspiration | A |
| Ere the speedy termination | A |
| In the snowy meadow wide | B |
| Sloping to the river's side | B |
| - | |
| Oh such quakers we begin it | D |
| Timorous of the icy route | E |
| But to learn in half a minute | F |
| What felicity is in it | D |
| As we shoot down the chute | E |
| Smothered in toboggan suit | E |
| Redingote or roquelaure | C |
| Buttoned up and down before | C |
| Mittens cap and moccasin | A |
| Just the garb to revel in | A |
| So the signal given lo | G |
| Over solid ice and snow | G |
| Down the narrow gauge we go | G |
| Swifter than a bird o'erhead | E |
| Swifter than an arrow sped | E |
| From the staunchest strongest bow | H |
| - | |
| Oh it beats all Copenhagen | A |
| Silly lovers' paradise | I |
| Like the frozen Androscoggin | A |
| Slippery and smooth and nice | I |
| Is the track of the toboggan | A |
| And there's nothing cheap about it | E |
| Everything is steep about it | E |
| The insolvent weep about it | E |
| For the biggest thing on ice | I |
| Is its tip top price | I |
| But were this three times the money | A |
| Then the game were thrice as funny | A |
| - | |
| Ye who dwell in latitudes | J |
| Where the blizzard ne'er intrudes | J |
| And the water seldom freezes | K |
| Ye of balmy Southern regions | L |
| Alabama's languid legions | L |
| From the hot blast of your breezes | K |
| Where the verdure of the trees is | K |
| Limp and loose and pitiful | M |
| Come up here where branches bare | C |
| Stand like spikes in frosty air | C |
| Come up here where arctic rigor | C |
| Shall restore your bloom and vigor | C |
| Making life enjoyable | M |
| Come and take a jog on | A |
| The unparalleled toboggan | A |
| Such the zest that he who misses | N |
| Never knows what perfect bliss is | K |
| So the sport the day's sensation | A |
| Thrills and recreates creation | A |
