This dismal scene inspires me none br Me thinks to sleep for forty winks, br An’ let the brook babble on. br I will close my eyes and br Try to unravel the babble of br A babbling brook. br Maybe it’s a soothing song, br Maybe I’m wrong, but listen br Oh my yes it is indeed it is, br With its dribble and drabble br An’ swirly gurgles br Gurgling and swirling along, br The ducks are quacking br Their peace the frogs are lacking, br An’ by golly I’m singing a babbling song. br Well now me thinks br I’ll have that forty winks.
