Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GHIIJJ KKLLLMM| He took the grade in second quite a climb | A |
| Dizzy and dangerous yet how sublime | A |
| The road went up and up it curved around | B |
| The mountain and the gorge grew more profound | B |
| He drove serenely with no hint of haste | C |
| And then she felt his arm go round her waist | C |
| - | |
| She shrank she did not know him very well | D |
| Being like her a guest at the hotel | D |
| Nice but a Frenchman On his driving hand | E |
| He wore like benedicks a golden band | E |
| Well how could she with grace refuse a drive | F |
| So grand it made glad to be alive | F |

| Yet now she heard him whisper in her ear | G |
| Don't be afraid With one hand I can steer | H |
| With one arm hold you Oh what perfect bliss | I |
| Darling please don't refuse me just one kiss | I |
| Here nigh to Heaven let is us rest awhile | J |
| Nay don't resist give me your lips your smile | J |

| So there in that remote and dizzy place | K |
| He wrestled with her for a moment's space | K |
| Hearing her cry Oh please please let me go | L |
| Let me get out You brute release me No no | L |
| NO | L |
| In that ravine was found their burnt out car | M |
| Their bodies trapped and crisped into a char | M |
