Verse 1
Bolt and bar the shutter,
For the foul winds blow:
Our minds are at their best this night,
And I seem to know
That everything outside us is
Mad as the mist and snow. (2x)

Horace by Homer stands,
Plato stands below,
And here is Tully's open page.
How many years ago
Were you and I lads
Mad as the mist and snow? (2x)

Verse 3
What makes me sigh
What makes me shudder so?
I shudder and I sigh to think
That even Cicero
And many-minded Homer were
Mad as the mist and snow.
And Cicero and Homer were
Mad as the mist and snow (3x)
Mad as the mist and snow!
Etc.
