In steamboats or trains, or balloons in the air.

If he sought for a change, Jones was sure to be there!

Jones, Jones, still, still Jones,

There’s no shirking Jones, there’s no shirking Jones.

In prairies and deserts again and again,

I have striven to dodge him, but always in vain;

On the top of Mount Blanc, and the Great Chinese Wall

When I paused to take breath, there was Jones after all!

Jones, Jones, still, still Jones,

There’s no dodging Jones, there’s no dodging Jones!
