Oh I'm in love with the janitor's boy,
And the janitor's boy loves me;
He's going to hunt for a desert isle

In our geography.

A desert isle with spicy trees

Somewhere near Sheepshead Bay;
A right nice place, just fit for two
Where we can live always.


Oh I'm in love with the janitor's boy,
He's busy as he can be;

And down in the cellar he's making a raft
Out of an old settee.


He'll carry me off, I know that he will,
For his hair is exceedingly red;
And the only thing that occurs to me

Is to dutifully shiver in bed.

The day that we sail, I shall leave this brief note,

For my parents I hate to annoy:
"I have flown away to an isle in the bay
With the janitor's red-haired boy."
