| Come with me and we will blow | A |
| Lots of bubbles as we go | A |
| Bubbles bright as ever Hope | B |
| Drew from fancy or from soap | B |
| Bright as e'er the South Sea sent | C |
| From its frothy element | D |
| Come with me and we will blow | A |
| Lots of bubbles as we go | A |

| Now the rainbow humbugs soar | A |
| Glittering all with golden hues | E |
| Such as haunt the dreams of Jews | E |
| Some reflecting mines that lie | H |
| Under Chili's glowing sky | H |
| Some those virgin pearls that sleep | I |
| Cloistered in the southern deep | I |
| Others as if lent a ray | A |
| From the streaming Milky Way | A |
| Glistening o'er with curds and whey | A |
| From the cows of Alderney | J |

| Now's the moment who shall first | K |
| Catch the bubbles ere they burst | K |
| Run ye Squires ye Viscounts run | J |
| Brogden Teynham Palmerston | J |
| John Wilks junior runs beside ye | A |
| Take the good the knaves provide ye | A |
| See with upturned eyes and hands | E |
| Where the Shareman Brogden stands | E |
| Gaping for the froth to fall | L |
| Down his gullet lye and all | L |
| See | A |
| - | |
| But hark my time is out | M |
| Now like some great water spout | M |
| Scattered by the cannon's thunder | A |
| Burst ye bubbles all asunder | A |
