Oh, I'm sorry for them when I witness their woe,

Their faces all wrinkle and twist about so;

And to their assistance I gladly would go—

But I dread the sad Valley of Grump, my dears,

I dread the sad Valley of Grump!

The sun never shines in the Valley of Grump;

The wind always blows from the east;

The air, I have noticed, is constantly chill,

And never warms up in the least.

As every one weeps, there are tears all the day;
