B
When you
F#
B
had left our pirate fold,
F#
We tried to raise our spirits faint,
B
According to our custom old,
C#
F#
With quip and quibble quaint.
B
But all in vain the quips we heard,
A#
F#
B

We lay and sobbed upon the rocks,
B
G#m
A#
Un til to somebody occurred
A paradox!
A paradox!
A most ingenious paradox!
F#
B
We quips and quibbles heard in flocks,
But none to beat this paradox!
A perky new paradox!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

E
For some ridiculous reason,
to which, however,
However, I have no desire
Some personal authority,
I don't know who,
Very likely the Astronomer Royal
E
Has decided that although
for such a beastly month as February
A
Twenty -eight days of the rule are plenty,
One year in every four,
His days should be reckoned
Through some singular coincidence,
I shouldn't be surprised
if we're going to the agency
A
of an ill -natured fairy.
You are the victim of this clumsy arrangement,
having been born in Leap Year
on the 29th of February.

Though you have lived twenty -one years,
yet if we go by birthdays,
