Blue Sally Sue heard a Quantaloo thumping 
 
 Outside of her window she heard the odd thumping 
 
 *tin-tappa-rin-rappa-tintabularoo* 
 
 Midnight was scratching at Blue Sally Sue. 
 
 `` Quantaloo, Quantaroo, I'm coming too! 
 
 Hold on to your sparkles for Blue Sally Sue!'' 
 
 She jumped out the window and into the night 
 
 And kissed the poor withering dithering wight. 
 
 `` Quantaloo, Quantaroo, phantasm of yore 
 
 Take me mommy's yon shimmering shore! 
 
 I'm yearning for my mommy's yon glimmering shore!'' 
 
 She took the wight's hand and *kaploof* they were gone 
 
 They rode the dark rainbow away from the dawn. 
 
 `` Quantaloo, Quantaroo, you sparkle so bright! 
 
 Why do you sparkle so sparkle tonight?'' 
 
 The wight did n't answer - it's a wight, they do n't speak! 
 
 Their tongues are black fire, their mouths have no teeth! 
 
 It patted her shoulder and pointed below 
 
 There Mommy was sleeping, sleeping alone. 
 
 `` Quantaloo, Quantaroo, let me go! Let me go! 
 
 My mommy, sweet mommy, is losing her glow! 
 
 Her love - more than love! - is glowing to low!'' 
 
 The wight bowed its head and floated them down 
 
 The graveyard was quiet, too sad for a sound. 
 
 Blue Sally Sue touched her mommy's sweet head 
 
 The granite was cold and with cold words it said, 
 
 *Here lies a mommy who loved a dear girl, * 
 
 *The dear sweetest girl in the whole widest world. * 
 
 `` Quantaloo, Quantaroo, bring her back, bring her now! 
 
 Mommy ca n't love me if she's trapped in the ground! 
 
 Quantaloo, Quantaroo, bring her back to me now! 
 
 Love more than love is n't love in the ground!'' 
 
 The Quantaloo scratched in the script of the wight 
 
 A skeletal message on the edge of the night 
 
 *I am your mommy, sweet Blue Sally Sue* 
 
 *I love and I love you sweet Blue Sally Sue* 
 
 *But I'm cold and alone when you cry in the night* 
 
 *I die every time your sweet tears find the night* 
 
 *The pain is too much, sweet Blue Sally Sue* 
 
 *The pain is too much, so you're coming too*
