Mr. and Mrs. Discobbolos Climbed to the top of a wall. And they sate to watch the sunset sky And to hear the Nupiter Piffkin cry And the Biscuit Buffalo call. They took up a roll and some Camomile tea, And both were as happy as happy could be-- Till Mrs. Discobbolos said,-- 'Oh! W! X! Y! Z! 'It has just come into my head-- 'Suppose we should happen to fall! ! ! ! ! 'Darling Mr. Discobbolos

'Suppose we should fall down flumpetty 'Just like pieces of stone! 'On the thorns,--or into the moat! 'What would become of your new green coat 'And might you not break a bone? 'It never occurred to me before-- 'That perhaps we shall never go down any more!' And Mrs. Discobbolos said-- 'Oh! W! X! Y! Z! 'What put it into your head 'To climb up this wall?--my own 'Darling Mr. Discobbolos?'

Mr. Discobbolos answered,-- 'At first it gave me pain,-- 'And I felt my ears turn perfectly pink 'When your exclamation made me think 'We might never get down again! 'But now I believe it is wiser far 'To remain for ever just where we are.'-- And Mr. Discobbolos said, 'Oh! W! X! Y! Z! 'It has just come into my head-- '----We shall never go down again-- 'Dearest Mrs. Discobbolos!'
IV
So Mr. and Mrs. Discobbolos Stood up and began to sing, 'Far away from hurry and strife 'Here we will pass the rest of life, 'Ding a ****, ding ****, ding! 'We want no knives nor forks nor chairs, 'No tables nor carpets nor household cares, 'From worry of life we've fled-- 'Oh! W! X! Y! Z! 'There is no more trouble ahead, 'Sorrow or any such thing-- 'For Mr. and Mrs. Discobbolos!'
