Deranged

to the tune of Home on the Range In the woods, in the gloam There’s a muttering gnome Like his mind, he’s wandered away And he should be interred Yes, the thought has occurred But the jailers would not last a day Big daddy’s deranged He’s losing it more every day He makes up strange words And it all sounds absurd But the kids do not care anyway ————— Some of the many happy verses Vivian was subjected to singing and walking in the woods.

I was reading along thinking about the tune, and it was driving me nuts until I read "Home on the Range" - because I had forgotten that song, but that was the tune I was hearing.
