| And your arms embracing your knees especially thin | B |
| Listen far far away on the Lake of Chad | A |
| Wanders a gentle giraffe | C |
| - | |
| He is endowed with slender grace and bliss | D |
| And his hide adorned with a magical design | E |
| Which the moonlight alone shattering and rocking | F |
| On the wide wet of the lake dares to rival | G |

| Are you crying Listen Far off on the Lake of Chad | A |
| Wanders a gentle giraffe | C |
