Gave pianoforte lessons at a sovereign a day	D

Met HARRIET HALE in Regent's Park	E
Where he in a casual kind of way	D
Spoke of the extraordinary beauty of the day	D

They started on their honeymoon	K
And oh astonishment took flight	L
To a pretty little cottage close to Shanklin Isle of Wight	L

In a month they both returned and lo	M
Astounding fact this happy pair	N
Took a gentlemanly residence in Canonbury Square	N

They led a weird and reckless life	O
They dined each day this man and wife	O
Pray disbelieve it if you please	P
On a joint of meat a pudding and a little bit of cheese	P
	-
In time came those maternal joys	Q
Which take the form of girls or boys	Q
And strange to say of each they'd one	R
A tiddy iddy daughter and a tiddy iddy son	R

Oh list to this incredible tale	A
Of THOMSON GREEN and HARRIET HALE	A
Its truth in one remark you'll sum	B
Twaddle twaddle twaddle twaddle twaddle twaddle twum	B

My name for truth is gone I fear	C
But monstrous as it may appear	C
They let their drawing room one day	D
To an eligible person in the cotton broking way	D

Whenever THOMSON GREEN fell sick	S
His wife called in a doctor quick	S
From whom some words like these would come	B
FIAT MIST SUMENDUM HAUSTUS in a COCHLEYAREUM	B

For thirty years this curious pair	N
Hung out in Canonbury Square	N
And somehow wonderful to say	D
They loved each other dearly in a quiet sort of way	D

Well THOMSON GREEN fell ill and died	T
For just a year his widow cried	T
And then her heart she gave away	D
To the eligible lodger in the cotton broking way	D
	-
Oh list to this incredible tale	A
Of THOMSON GREEN and HARRIET HALE	A
Its truth in one remark you'll sum	B
Twaddle twaddle twaddle twaddle twaddle twaddle twum	B
