Christopher Robin went down with Alice.

They've great big parties inside the grounds.

James James

Morrison Morrison

Weatherby George Dupree

Took great care of his mother

Though he was only three.

James James said to his mother

Mother he said, said he:

You mustn't go down to the end of the town if you don't go down with me.

James James Morrison's Mother

Put on a golden gown.

James James Morrison's Mother

Went to the end of the town

James James Morrison's Mother

Said to herself, said she:

I can go right down to the end of the town and be back in time for tea!

Halfway down the stairs

Is a stair

Where I sit.

There isn't any

Other stair

Quite like

It.

I'm not at the bottom,

I'm not at the top;

So this is the stair

Where

I always

Stop.

Halfway up the stairs

Isn't up,

Isn't down.

It isn't in the nursery,

It isn't in the town.

And all sorts of funny thoughts

Run round my head:

"It isn't really

Anywhere!

It's somewhere else

Instead!"
