Poem by Edward Lear

lyrics

DINGLE BANK

Em G
He lived at Dingle Bank—he did;—
Am Em
He lived at Dingle bank;
Em G
And in his garden was one Quail,
Am B7
Four tulips, and a Tank;
Em A B7 Em
And from his windows he could see
F Em
The otion and the River Dee.

His house stood on a Cliff, — it did,
In aspic it was cool;
And many thousand little boys
Resorted to his school,
Where if of progress they could boast
F B7
He gave them heaps of buttered toast.


F#m C#m
But he grew rabid-wroth, he did,
D A
If they neglected books,
F#m Bm
And dragged them to adjacent cliffs
F#m C#7
With beastly Button Hooks,
D A G Bm
And there with fatuous glee he threw
G Am B7
Them down into the otion blue.

And in the sea they swam, they did,—
All playfully about,
And some eventually became
Sponges, or speckled trout;—
But Liverpool doth all bewail
Their Fate;—likewise his Garden Quail.


Edward Lear
