Rhyme Scheme: AABBCBC DDEECEC FFGGCGC| Look at my knees | A |
| That island rising from the steamy seas | A |
| The candles a tall lightship my two hands | B |
| Are boats and barges anchored to the sands | B |
| With mighty cliffs all round | C |
| They're full of wine and riches from far lands | B |
| I wonder what it feels like to be drowned | C |
| - | |
| I can make caves | D |
| By lifting up the island and huge waves | D |
| And storms and then with head and ears well under | E |
| Blow bubbles with a monstrous roar like thunder | E |
| A bull of Bashan sound | C |
| The seas run high and the boats split asunder | E |
| I wonder what it feels like to be drowned | C |
| - | |
| The thin soap slips | F |
| And slithers like a shark under the ships | F |
| My toes are on the soap dish that's the effect | G |
| Of my huge storms an iron steamer's wrecked | G |
| The soap slides round and round | C |
| He's biting the old sailors I expect | G |
| I wonder what it feels like to be drowned | C |
