Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDCD EFEFCGCG HIHIFDFD CJCJGDG| Why am I full of joy although | A |
| It drizzles on the links | B |
| Why am I buying Veuve Cliquot | C |

| Why stand I like a prince amid | C |
| My pals and envy none | D |
| Ye gods of golf Today I did | C |
| A Hole in One | D |

| If on the fairway still | F |
| I climbed the rise so sure I'd hit | C |
| It straight towards the green | G |
| I looked and looked no trace of it | C |
| Was to be seen | G |

| My partner putted to the pin | H |
| Then hoarse I heard him call | I |
| And lo So snug the hole within | H |
| Gleamed up my ball | I |
| Yea it was mine Oh what a thrill | F |
| What dandy drive I'd done | D |
| By luck well grant a little skill | F |
| I'd holed in one | D |

| Say that my score is eighty odd | C |
| And though I won't give up | J |
| Say that as round the course I plod | C |
| I never win a cup | J |
| Say that my handicap's nineteen | G |
| And of my game make fun | D |
| But holler 'On the seventh green | G |
| HE HOLED IN ONE ' | - |
