Ik zen misschien wel oud, mor ik kan nog jaren mee.
Ik warekik alleen rond karsttijd, de rest zen'k oep conge
De karstman, de karstman, de karstman, ho, ho, ho,
Met rudolf het rendier,
Met karstmis oep de zwier,
De karstman, de karstman, de karstman, ho, ho, ho,
Een goedlachse figuur, ja ne sympathieken tip,
Altijd volle goesting, ik trek dus nooit een lip.
Hemmeket wa koud, pak'k ne slok cognac,
Mor natuurlijk ni teveel, of 'k hem e stuk in menne frak
Het hee zo fel gevroren, de wegen zen wer glad,
Ik spreek van ondervinding, 'k lag al drij keer oep m'n gat
De bomen zen versierd met slingers en met ballen,
De lichtjes in de straat da zal e wel bevallen
Gelovet of gelovet ni, ik heb e vliegende slee,
En elfe in m'n fabriek on een armoeizaaierspree
Jingle bels en consoorten, vinkik sfeervolle muziek
Mor die liekes van hopeloos daarvan weurrekik ziek
Mennen tijd zitter wijd oep, 'k denk da ieder z'n portie kreeg,
Nog e paar adreskes en menne zak is weral leeg.
Ik missekik mijn vrouwke, da zulde toch wel snappen
Dus ik keer t'rug nor huis, ja ik gon naar de lappen!
