Work work and work the hiele daw
Work work and work there's nok to lawe
No food, no hvil, no noget som helst
I think it is a little trælst

Yeah it's hard to be a nissemand
Yeah it's hard to be a nisse

Yeah it's hard to be a nissemand
Yeah it's hard to be a nisse

No'en can have free when it is jul
Free båd' from arbed' and from school
But when you are a nissemand
That's simpelthen not noget you can

Yeah it's hard to be a nissemand
Yeah it's hard to be a nisse
