DAVY JONES’ DOOR-BELL

A Chant for Boys with Manly Voices.

Every line sung one step deeper than the line preceding.

Any sky-bird sings,

“Ring, ring!”

Any church-chime calls,

“Dong ding!”

Any cannon says,

“Boom bang!”

Any whirlwind says,

“Whing whang!”

The bell-buoy hums and roars,

“Ding dong!”

And way down deep,

Where fishes throng,

By Davy Jones’ big deep-sea door,

Shaking the ocean’s flowery floor,

His door-bell booms

“Dong dong,

Dong dong,”

Deep, deep down,

“Clang boom,

Boom dong,

Boom dong!”
