"If I were, a soldier's son
If I were to marry,
I would marry, a soldier's daughter,
More than anybody.
For she can shoot, and I can shoot,
We can shoot together,
In the middle of the night, shooting one another!"
If I were, a farmer's son
If I were to marry,
I would marry, a farmer's daughter,
More than anybody.
For she can dig, and I can dig,
We can dig together,
In the middle of the night, digging one another!"
If I were, an ice-cream man's son
If I were to marry,
I would marry, an ice-cream man's daughter,
More than anybody.
For she can lick, and I can lick,
We can lick together,
In the middle of the night, licking one another!"
