Slæmar eru nefndirnar, thungt er theirra hlass.
Samt vid munum skjóta theim, rebba fyrir rass.
Thví vid getum jólahaldi frestad fram í mars,
Bara ef oss svo bydur vid ad horfa.
Mér er sem ég heyri bresti og brak,
Undan theim kyngikrafti.
Er thú thar nidri á thingi tekur theim tak,
Thínum med thrumukjafti.
Já, dreifbylingaflokkinn bryt ég á bak,
Eins og fúaflak!
Já, gott ef ég ekki,
(...) kofann og sprengi hid spanskgræna forna thak!
Já, mikid mun thad gledja æi minn ó
- létt' honum dimma daga -
Er litlu börnin kaupa kí-lí-lí-ló,
Af ávöxtum í sinn maga.
Já, kát svo mun ég syngja hæ-æ-æ-hó,
(Og) líka ding-ding-dó,
Thá allt verdur uppselt,
Thó mér finnist nú sjaldan ad selst hafi alveg nóg!
Já, mikid mun thad gledja æi minn ó
- létt' honum dimma daga -
Er litlu börnin kaupa kí-lí-lí-ló,
Af ávöxtum í sinn maga.
Já, kát svo mun ég syngja hæ-æ-æ-hó,
(Og) líka ding-ding-dó,
Thá allt verdur uppselt,
Thó mér finnist nú sjaldan ad selst hafi alveg nóg!
Thó mér finnist nú sjaldan ad selst hafi alveg nóg!
Thó mér finnist nú sjaldan ad selst hafi alveg nóg!
