| All you mean to me | B |
| She and I and Long Ago | A |
| And you there in the tree | B |
| With that nut between your paws | C |
| Half way to your twittering jaws | C |
| Jaunty with your strip d coat | D |
| Puffing out your furry throat | D |
| Eyes like some big polished seed | E |
| Plumed tail curved like half a lyre | F |
| - | |
| We pretended not to heed | E |
| You as though you would inquire | F |
| Can I trust them then a jerk | G |
| And you'd skipped three branches higher | H |
| Jaws again at work | G |
| Like a little clock work elf | I |
| With all the forest to itself | I |

| She was very fair to see | B |
| She was all the world to me | B |
| She has gone whole worlds away | J |
| Yet it seems as though to day | J |
| Chipmunk I can hear her say | J |
| Get that chipmunk dear for me | B |
| Chipmunk you can never know | A |
| All she was to me | B |
| That's all it was long ago | A |
