The Lyrics
I think that I shall start on C,
Then move a whole step up to D.
E’s next as you may well guessed
A half step up—on F I rest:
That’s a pun, I guess you could say.
Can’t skip G on the way to A.
When I hit A, I’m almost there. . .
Play a relative-minor air.
The next step allows me to gain
Resolution of a refrain—
I’m on the leading tone of B,
Which brings me back again to C.
Then move a whole step up to D.
E’s next as you may well guessed
A half step up—on F I rest:
That’s a pun, I guess you could say.
Can’t skip G on the way to A.
When I hit A, I’m almost there. . .
Play a relative-minor air.
The next step allows me to gain
Resolution of a refrain—
I’m on the leading tone of B,
Which brings me back again to C.
