[Verse 1]

EbLike the snowy out the window was the fuGbzzy on the screeBbn
AbAnd snorey-borey Abmwere the little Ebtoys upon the fFloory
AbAnd the neighbor kids were alGbways kBbinda mEbean
EbSo criss-cross sat and chitter-chat, our Abdays were spent conversy
EbInterspersy little words our verGby own till we'd Bbforget
AbJust where the English eAbmnd and where our little Ebwords beFginned
AbAnd ennui aid anGbd time abet et cBbeter-eter-ret-set-set-set
