This tune never has a definite time

It comes and goes without warning

It is a slow somber carol

A shanty that is danced slowly

Move with emphasis as dramatization is key

The world can be united in this tune

This tune never has a definite time

Alone it is a long opera

Together with others, it can be short

But heed this warning

Never listen to this lullaby often

As there are worse to listen to
