Whose lovers completely forsook her;

And said, "Fiddle-de-dee!"
Which embarrassed the people of Lucca.

There was an old Man of Bohemia,
Whose daughter was christened Euphemia;

There was an Old Man of Vesuvius,
Who studied the works of Vitruvius;
When the flames burnt his book,
To drinking he took,
That morbid Old Man of Vesuvius.

There was an Old Man of Cape Horn,
Who wished he had never been born;
So he sat on a chair,
Till he died of despair,
That dolorous Man of Cape Horn.
