Lyrics:

Heylan går
Here's to the man who drinks her down
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej

Here's to the man,  his stupid wife,
His wishing and my happy life
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej

Heylan går
Here's to the man who drinks her down
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej


But he will drink from glasses small
Better he not drink at all
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej

Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej

Here's to Brita when she bakes
She puts whiskey in her cakes
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej

Heylan går
Here's to the man who drinks her down
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej

Here's to the man,  his stupid wife,
His wishing and my happy life
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej

Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lallan lej


Den som inte helan tar
Den har inte halvan kvar
Heylan går
Sing hopp faderallan lej
