I'm sweating and steaming
I feel like screaming
I'm bubbling and seething
I'm rattling like tea-things
the pan said -
took his hat off his head - and
Phew!
I'm absolutely boiling
I'm bristling and whistling
and hustling and moiling
and all hot and sizzling
it's a mad mad bustle
the pan said -
took its hat off his head - and
Phew!
Ouch this hoppity, hoppity, hoppity
shouted the potatoes, popping up fit to split
no way of stopping it, dropping it, swapping it
dancing a polka, have to, dance, dancing a polka
got to go higher now, shoes are on fire now
galloping, galloping, off at a lollop
jumping and jumping and off at a wallop
turning and thumping, thumping and turning
oh this knocking and bumping and socking
off again copping it, hopping it, whopping it
makes me spit -
no way of stopping it
Kattila ja perunat
Oi olen aivan höyrypäinen,
ihan kiehun ja sihisen
kuin sähikäinen,
sanoi kattila
ja nosti hattua
pshiih
ihan kiehun ja kihisen
ja puhisen, pihisen
syljen, sihisen
sähisen, kähisen
ja kiukusta rähisen,
sanoi kattila
ja nosti hattua
pshiih
Voi tätä hoppua hoppua hoppua
huusivat perunat, voi tätä hoppua
ei tule loppua loppua loppua
polkata täytyy polkkaa, polkata polkkaa
kiireistä aikaa, tulta on kengissä
laukata täytyy laukkaa, laukata laukkaa
ei ole tolkkua millään, ei ole tolkun tolkkua
kolkata täytyy kolkkaa, kolkata kolkkaa
hyvä jos pysymme hengissä, hengissä, hengissä
voi tätä hoppua hoppua hoppua
ei tule loppua.
