Davy Jones’ Door-Bell

A Chant for Boys with Manly Voices.

Every line sung one step deeper than the line preceding.

Any sky-bird sings, “Ring, ring!” Any church-chime calls, “Dong ding!” Any cannon says, “Boom bang!” Any whirlwind says, “Whing whang!” The bell-buoy hums and roars, “Ding dong!” And way down deep, Where fishes throng, By Davy Jones’ big deep-sea door, Shaking the ocean’s flowery floor, His door-bell booms “Dong dong, Dong dong,” Deep, deep down, “Clang boom, Boom dong, Boom dong, Boom dong!”
