A Chant for Boys with Manly Voices

(Every line sung one step deeper than the line preceding)
Any sky-bird sings,
 Ring, ring!
Any church-chime rings,
 Dong ding!
Any cannon says,
 Boom bang!
Any whirlwind says,
 Whing whang!
The bell-buoy hums and roars,
 Ding dong!
And way down deep,
Where fishes throng,
By Davy Jones' big deep?sea door,
Shaking the ocean's flowery floor,
His door-bell booms
 Dong dong,
 Dong dong,
Deep, deep down,
 Clang boom,
 Boom dong.
