| A sort of a tower on top of it all | E |
| And steps coming down in an orderly way | F |
| To where my toy vessels lie safe in the bay | F |

| This one is sailing and that one is moored | G |
| Hark to the song of the sailors on board | H |
| And see on the steps of my palace the kings | I |
| Coming and going with presents and things | I |
