Oh the times I have had in this flannelet,
Conjugate with the times with my clarinet,
Something I have always kept,
Oh the times I have had in this empty room,
Conjugate with the times of doom and gloom,
Make way for the times with another bloom,
Something that is always soon,
The bars are cold and the floor is wet,
I'm slipping away from my old friends,
I got me a brand new flannelet,
I hope more company is kept,
Come take me out of my cage,
Come on and take me out of my cage,
My cage.
