Bounce! you are up the stairs.

Bounce! you are on the landing.
Thrum! you drum at the door, and they are singing; they don't hear you.
And now you're meek as a mouse.

That's it--if you don't hit the mark when you go like a bullet, you 're stupid as lead.

And they call you a clever fellow! Luigi's day is to come.

When all have paid him all round, they will acknowledge Luigi's worth.
