Cottage full of silent people, silent people
floor full of pert noses, and noses
no one who would start the fun
no one who would start the fun
When I enter the house, and the house
I bring happiness myself, myself
I am just a penniless girl, and penniless,
I haven't been in school, in school
haven't stood at a blacksmith's forge, at a forge
Other girls were in school, and in school
I didn't have time to leave home, leave home
You aren't suitable singers, singers
drooling-mouthed cuckoos, cuckoos
I'm not always there to kick off the show, and to kick off
I won't start, won't stop, won't stop
Cottage full of silent people, silent people
floor full of pert noses, and noses
no one who would start the fun
no one who would start the fun
I'm not always there to kick off the show, and to kick off
I won't start, won't stop, won't stop
