(©music by Maury Laws, lyrics adapted by Jules Bass 1977)</p>

Swish, smack! Whip crack!<br>
Smash, grab! Pinch, nab!<br>
You go, my lad!<br>
Ho, ho! my lad!</p>

The black crack! the back crack!<br>
The black crack! the back crack!<br>
Down down to Goblin-town<br>
Down down to Goblin-town<br>
Down down to Goblin-town<br>
You go, my lad!<br>
Ho, ho! my lad!</p>

Goblins quaff, and Goblins beat<br>
Goblins laugh, and Goblins bleat<br>
Batter batter [...........] ho<br>
Below, my lad!<br>
Ho, ho! my lad!</p>

The black crack! the back crack!<br>
The black crack! the back crack!<br>
Down down to Goblin-town<br>
Down down to Goblin-town<br>
Down down to Goblin-town<br>
You go, my lad!<br>
Ho, ho! my lad!</p>
