Would you have me row till my shoulder cracks?

Brekekekex co-äx, co-äx!

Brekekekex co-äx, co-äx!

Groan away till you burst your backs.

It's nothing to me.

Just wait till you see.

I don't care how you scold.

Then all day long

We will croak you a song

As loud as our throats can hold.

Brekekekex co-äx, co-äx!

Brekekekex co-äx, co-äx!!

I'll see you don't outdo me in that.

Well, you shall never beat us—that's flat!

I'll make you cease your song

If I shout for it all day long;

My lungs I'll tax

With co-äx, co-äx

—I assure you they're thoroughly strong—
