Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEEF GHGCH BIBBJ KCKKC LKLL KMKKM LELLE KKKKK| WHAT'S this I pondered Have I slept | A |
| Or can I have been drinking | B |
| But soon a gentler feeling crept | A |
| Upon me and I sat and wept | A |
| An hour or so like winking | B |
| - | |
| No need for Bones to hurry so | C |
| I sobbed In fact I doubt | D |
| If it was worth his while to go | C |
| And who is Tibbs I'd like to know | C |
| To make such work about | D |
| - | |
| If Tibbs is anything like me | E |
| It's POSSIBLE I said | F |
| He won't be over pleased to be | E |
| Dropped in upon at half past three | E |
| After he's snug in bed | F |
| - | |
| And if Bones plagues him anyhow | G |
| Squeaking and all the rest of it | H |
| As he was doing here just now | G |
| I prophesy there'll be a row | C |
| And Tibbs will have the best of it | H |
| - | |
| Then as my tears could never bring | B |
| The friendly Phantom back | I |
| It seemed to me the proper thing | B |
| To mix another glass and sing | B |
| The following Coronach | J |
| - | |
| 'AND ART THOU GONE BELOVED GHOST | K |
| BEST OF FAMILIARS | C |
| NAY THEN FAREWELL MY DUCKLING ROAST | K |
| FAREWELL FAREWELL MY TEA AND TOAST | K |
| MY MEERSCHAUM AND CIGARS | C |
| - | |
| THE HUES OF LIFE ARE DULL AND GRAY | L |
| THE SWEETS OF LIFE INSIPID | K |
| WHEN thou MY CHARMER ART AWAY | L |
| OLD BRICK OR RATHER LET ME SAY | L |
| OLD PARALLELEPIPED ' | - |
| - | |
| Instead of singing Verse the Third | K |
| I ceased abruptly rather | M |
| But after such a splendid word | K |
| I felt that it would be absurd | K |
| To try it any farther | M |
| - | |
| So with a yawn I went my way | L |
| To seek the welcome downy | E |
| And slept and dreamed till break of day | L |
| Of Poltergeist and Fetch and Fay | L |
| And Leprechaun and Brownie | E |
| - | |
| For year I've not been visited | K |
| By any kind of Sprite | K |
| Yet still they echo in my head | K |
| Those parting words so kindly said | K |
| Old Turnip top good night | K |
