| Of your yellow fruit banana | A |
| Growing on the tropic islands | B |
| Fertile islands in the ocean | C |
| I a little trick will play me | D |
| Play it on the darkened staircase | E |
| Where no light has late been burning | F |
| Where the students walk in darkness | G |
| Walk on foot perchance on shin bones | H |
| Lay aside your fruit banana | A |
| Quickly lay your fruit aside you | I |
| For the eventime is coming | F |
| When the stairs are wrapt in darkness | G |
| And I've yet to waft me distant | J |
| Many leagues o'er land and ocean | C |
| To a famous school of learning | F |
| In the land of the pale faces | K |
| In the city of the mountain | C |
| Thus aloud cried Tomakewaw | L |
| Chief of all the imps of darkness | G |
| On an island in the ocean | C |
| In the wide Pacific Ocean | C |
| And the tall tree shook its branches | K |
| Shook with mirth its ladened branches | K |
| Saying with a burst of laughter | M |
| Take my fruit O Tomakewaw | L |
| Then its fruit he picked with gladness | K |
| Gathered it with exultation | C |
| Sped across the wide Pacific | N |
| Over mountain over prairie | D |
| To the shores of the great river | M |
| To the banks of the St Lawrence | K |
| To the city of the mountain | C |
| Here within the school of learning | F |
| Sought he out a student's chamber | M |
| Where he peeled the fruit delicious | K |
| Cleft the yellow rind asunder | M |
| Ate the fruit but saved the peeling | F |
| And he then with quiet movements | K |
| Took up the banana peeling | F |
| Issued out into the darkness | K |
| Noiseless glided through the passage | O |
| Till he reached the darkened staircase | K |
| Where upon the topmost step he | D |
| Placed with care the oily peeling | F |
| Placed the smooth banana peeling | F |
| Later on we have The Sailing | F |
