Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEDEFF FGFGHH IFIFIF JKJKLL| His face was like a lobster red | A |
| His legs were white as mayonnaise | B |
| I've had a jolly lunch he said | A |
| That Englishman of pleasant ways | B |
| Thy do us well at our hotel | C |
| In England food is dull these days | B |
| - | |
| We had a big langouste for lunch | D |
| I almost ate the whole of it | E |
| And now I'll smoke and read my Punch | D |
| And maybe siesta a bit | E |
| And then I'll plunge into the sea | F |
| And get an appetite for tea | F |
| - | |
| We saw him plunge into the sea | F |
| With jolly laugh his wife and I | G |
| George does enjoy his food said she | F |
| In Leeds lobsters are hard to buy | G |
| How lucky we to have a chance | H |
| To spend our holiday in France | H |

| And so we watched him swim and swim | I |
| So far and far we scarce could see | F |
| Until his balding head grew dim | I |
| And then there came his children three | F |
| And we all waited there for him | I |
| Ah yes a little anxiously | F |
| - | |
| But George alas came never back | J |
| Of him they failed to find a trace | K |
| His wife and kids are wearing black | J |
| And miss a lot his jolly face | K |
| But oh how all the lobsters laugh | L |
| And write in wrack his epitaph | L |
