And tempest make a soda water sea | A |
Almost as rough as our rough Piccadilly | A |
And think of me | A |
- | |
Go where the mild Madeira ripens her juice | B |
A wine more praised than it deserves to be | A |
Go pass the Cape just capable of ver juice | B |
And think of me | A |
- | |
Go where the tiger in the darkness prowleth | C |
Making a midnight meal of he and she | A |
Go where the lion in his hunger howleth | C |
And think of me | A |
- | |
Go where the serpent dangerously coileth | C |
Or lies along at full length like a tree | A |
Go where the Suttee in her own soot broileth | C |
And think of me | A |

Go where with human notes the parrot dealeth | C |
In mono polly logue with tongue as free | A |
And like a woman all she can revealeth | C |
And think of me | A |

Go to the land of muslin and nankeening | D |
And parasols of straw where hats should be | A |
Go to the land of slaves and palankeening | D |
And think of me | A |

Go to the land of jungles and of vast hills | E |
And tall bamboos may none bamboozle thee | A |
Go gaze upon their elephants and castles | F |
And think of me | A |

Go where a cook must always be a currier | G |
And parch the peppered palate like a pea | A |
Go where the fierce mosquito is a worrier | G |
And think of me | A |

Go where the maiden on a marriage plan goes | H |
Consigned for wedlock to Calcutta's quay | A |
Where woman goes for mart the same as mangoes | H |
And think of me | A |
- | |
Go where the sun is very hot and fervent | I |
Go to the land of pagod and rupee | A |
Where every black will be your slave and servant | I |
And think of me | A |
