Rhyme Scheme: ABCC CCDD CCEE EEFF EEEE ABEE| Hear me now my hobby horse my steed of prancing paces | A |
| Time is it that you and I won something more than races | B |
| I have got a fine cocked hat with feathers proudly waving | C |
| Out into the world we'll go both death and danger braving | C |
| - | |
| Doubt not that I know the way the garden gate is clapping | C |
| Who forgot to lock it last deserves his fingers slapping | C |
| When they find we can't be found oh won't there be a chorus | D |
| You and I may laugh at that with all the world before us | D |
| - | |
| All the world the great green world that lies beyond the paling | C |
| All the sea the great round sea where ducks and drakes are sailing | C |
| I a knight my charger thou together we will wander | E |
| Out into that grassy waste where dwells the Goosey Gander | E |
| - | |
| Months ago my faithful steed that Goose attacked your master | E |
| How it hissed and how I cried It ran but I ran faster | E |
| Down upon my face I fell its awful wings were o'er me | F |
| Mother came and picked me up and off to bed she bore me | F |
| - | |
| Months have passed my faithful steed both you and I are older | E |
| Sheathless is my wooden sword my heart I think is bolder | E |
| Always ready bridled thou with reins of crimson leather | E |
| Woe betide the Goose to day who meets us both together | E |
| - | |
| Up then now my hobby horse my steed of prancing paces | A |
| Time it is that you and I won something more than races | B |
| I a knight my charger thou together we will wander | E |
| Out into that grassy waste where dwells the Goosey Gander | E |
