He holds his songbook very low,

And then he stretches down his face,

And Mother said, "You mustn't watch,

He's only singing bass."

He makes his voice go walking down,

Or else he hurries twice as fast

As all the rest, but even then

He finishes the song the last.

And when I see him singing there,

I wonder if he knows it all

About Leviticus and Shem

And Deuteronomy and Saul.
