1 / On the Coast of Coromandel / Where the early pumpkins blow, / In the middle of the woods / Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. / Two old chairs, and half a candle, / One old jug without a handle, -- / These were all his worldly goods: / In the middle of the woods, / These were all the worldly goods / Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, / Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
2 / Once, among the Bong-trees walking / Where the early pumpkins blow, / To a little heap of stones / Came the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. / There he heard a Lady talking, / To some milk-white Hens of Dorking, -- / "Tis the Lady Jingly Jones! / On that little heap of stones / Sits the Lady Jingly Jones!" / Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, / Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
