| I do the work I love | B |
| And in it find a rich reward | A |

| Oh gentlefolk do you and you | D |
| Who toil for daily hire | E |

| And will no duty shirk | G |
| Oh do you in your private mind | F |
| Adore your work | G |

| Twice happy man whose job is joy | C |
| Whose hand and heart combine | H |
| In brave and excellent employ | C |
| As radiantly as mine | H |
| But oh the weary dreary day | I |
| The wear and tear and irk | G |
| Of countless souls who cannot say | I |
| 'I love my work ' | - |
