He met Katarzyna with a cold –
Ah-spray!
Katarzyna under the duvet –
Ah-spray!

A doctor was immediately brought in –
Ah-spray!
“The lady has a cold” –
Ah-spray!

He rubbed her back with turpentine –
Ah-spray!
And after a while, he himself had a cold –
Ah-spray!

The doctor went to the notary –
Ah-spray!
And it was Christmas –
Ah-spray!

There’s a bowl full of guts –
Ah-snort!
And the notary sneezes into the bowl –
Ah-snort!

From the notary it went on –
Ah-snort!
Because the guests sneezed –
Ah-snort!

From those guests, their guests again –
Ah-snort!
It was like a bridge rumbling –
Ah-snort!

Before eleven o’clock –
Ah-snort!
The whole city was sneezing –
Ah-snort!

Until they ran out of turpentine –
Ah-snort!
Because of one Catherine’s fault –
Ah-snort!
