| No doubt you have heard the name before | A |
| Was a boy who never would shut a door | A |

| 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 |

| 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 |
