Once there was a little girl (Er was eens een meisje)
Lonely, in the wood (Alleen in 't bos)
She even had no granny (Ze had geen appel)
And she had no food (En ze had ook geen voet)
Father was a army-leader (Vader was een armoelijer)
Surving the marine (Die surfde met Marie)
Roberts to come mother (Dan rolde ze door de modder)
It was all so mean (Dan had 'ie ook nog iets met Mien, geloof ik)
And yet she said (En Jet zei)
Why, why, why (Waarom, waarom, waarom)
My life is so bad (Ik heb een rot leven)
Why, why, why (Waarom, waarom, waarom)
I am so terrebly sad (Ik ben het allemaal, zo verschrikkelijk, spuugzat)
One night she fell in sleep (Ze lag op 't veld te slapen)
And the angels said (Ze had niet eens een cent)
Her pusy to take (??) (De poes lag op 't kerkhof)
He came her dearest friend (O, dat was zo'n dierenvriend)
O, she was so happy (Ja, dat heb je maar zo)
It was a lucky day (Da's heus geen leuk idee)
She said: I call you Freddy (Nou, ze zou vrijdag wel bellen)
And never go away (Voor de WW, 't arme kind. Ze wist toch al niet hoe ze rond moest komen.)
And yet she said (En Jet riep)
Why, why, why (Nou begint 't ook nog te waaien)
My life was so bad (En ik moet eigenlijk naar bed)
Why, why, why (Sjonge, wat waait 't toch hard)
Now I'm so terrebly glad (Kijk 'es an, nou is 't nog glad buiten ook)
While she was playing with her pussy (En terwijl ze met haar... Oh. Dolly, kun je dat nog effe herhalen?)
While she was playing with her pussy (Oh ja. Ze speelde een poossie)
Spring was in the air (Toen sprong alles in de lucht)
At once over her shoulder (En de hele zolder stortte in)
She saw her mamy did (Toen kwam er ook nog een mummy naar beneden. Sjongejongejonge, wat een ellende bij mekaar,zeg)
And yet she said (Ja, en Jet zei weer)
Why, why, why ('t Blijft maar waaien natuurlijk, he)
I am so lucky (Toen stond ze in d'r interlocky)
Why, why, why (Nou, toen is ze helemaal weggewaaid)
What a beautiful and happy end (Een ellendige rotmanier om aan je ende te komen)
