| No doubt you have heard the name before | A |
| Was a boy who never would shut a door | A |
| - | |
| The wind might whistle the wind might roar | A |
| And teeth be aching and throats be sore | A |
| But still he never would shut the door | A |
| - | |
| His father would beg his mother implore | A |
| 'Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore | A |
| We really do wish you would shut the door ' | - |

| When he walked forth the folks would roar | A |
| 'Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore | A |
| Why don't you think to shut the door ' | - |
| - | |
| They rigged up a Shutter with sail and oar | A |
| And threatened to pack off Gustavus Gore | A |
| On a voyage of penance to Singapore | A |
| - | |
| But he begged for mercy and said 'No more | A |
| Pray do not send me to Singapore | A |
| On a Shutter and then I will shut the door ' | - |
| - | |
| 'You will ' said his parents 'then keep on shore | A |
| But mind you do For the plague is sore | A |
| Of a fellow that never will shut the door | A |
| Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore ' | - |
