| And now three friarly ghosts we be | A |
| Around our shadowy table placed | B |
| The spectral bowl before us floats | C |
| With wine that none but ghosts can taste | B |
| We wash our unsubstantial throats | C |
| Three merry ghosts three merry ghosts | D |
| three merry ghosts are we | A |
| Let the ocean be Port and we'll think it good sport | E |
| To be laid in that Red Sea | A |

| With songs that jovial spectres chaunt | E |
| Our old refectory still we haunt | E |
| The traveller hears our midnight mirth | F |
| O list he cries the haunted choir | G |
| The merriest ghost that walks the earth | F |
| Is sure the ghost of a ghostly friar | G |
| Three merry ghosts three merry ghosts | D |
| three merry ghosts are we | A |
| Let the ocean be Port and we'll think it good sport | E |
| To be laid in that Red Sea | A |
