AbSurely there were riches beyond Ebmeasure
I would Bbtake my sanity to task
Walk across broken glass to Abfind it
And no Bbmountain top was left unclimbed
Before I ever took the time to Abtake a  look inside Bbme

Yes, I have Bbsaid and heard the word goodbye
Felt the blade and turned the kAbnife sideways

To keep from losing what I've learned Abalong the waBby
