| You fence me in, you break me out
|
| The people grin, they see me shout
|
| And you would play your grande piano
|
| In the fine array you matched with Handel
|
| Grasping, clasping
|
| You lose your lead, you tear your books
|
| The host is pleased to share your looks
|
| And you would play your grande piano
|
| In fine array you matched with Handel
|
| Staking, raking
|
| We talked about all the places we’d seen
|
| When I saw you there and I thought of my dream
|
| Where you’d grown so tall and how you were small
|
| When the major-seventh interlude had crashed!

| Where you’d grown so tall and how you were small
|
| When the major-seventh interlude had crashed!
|
| After eight, approaching nine
|
| The garden gate, the dancing wine
|
| I always loved your grande piano
|
| Until the day you swam the Channel
|
| Blinking, sinking |
