Go where the waves run rather Holborn hillyA
And tempest make a soda water seaA
Almost as rough as our rough PiccadillyA
And think of meA
-
Go where the mild Madeira ripens her juiceB
A wine more praised than it deserves to beA
Go pass the Cape just capable of ver juiceB
And think of meA
-
Go where the tiger in the darkness prowlethC
Making a midnight meal of he and sheA
Go where the lion in his hunger howlethC
And think of meA
-
Go where the serpent dangerously coilethC
Or lies along at full length like a treeA
Go where the Suttee in her own soot broilethC
And think of meA
-
Go where with human notes the parrot dealethC
In mono polly logue with tongue as freeA
And like a woman all she can revealethC
And think of meA
-
Go to the land of muslin and nankeeningD
And parasols of straw where hats should beA
Go to the land of slaves and palankeeningD
And think of meA
-
Go to the land of jungles and of vast hillsE
And tall bamboos may none bamboozle theeA
Go gaze upon their elephants and castlesF
And think of meA
-
Go where a cook must always be a currierG
And parch the peppered palate like a peaA
Go where the fierce mosquito is a worrierG
And think of meA
-
Go where the maiden on a marriage plan goesH
Consigned for wedlock to Calcutta's quayA
Where woman goes for mart the same as mangoesH
And think of meA
-
Go where the sun is very hot and ferventI
Go to the land of pagod and rupeeA
Where every black will be your slave and servantI
And think of meA
