(Start-up tone for the first word in the song)
verse 1
Mester Jakob, Mester Jacob,
sover du, sover du?
Hører du ej klokken, hører du ej klokken?
Bim bam bum, bim bam bum.
verse 2
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping,
Brother John, Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing.
Ding Ding Dong, Ding Ding Dong.
