Tell me mother
How do I make the most of this gold ring?
Put it under a ling snake my darling one
How do I make the most of this gold ring?
Put it under a ling snake in the old chest
Left it for a few days and come back to check
And the chest is falling apart
The snake has grown so enormous
That the chest is bursting at its very joints
How has this made the most of my gold ring?
Did you put it under a ling snake my love?
How has this made the most of my gold ring?
Perhaps I gave you bad advice my darling.
Carry the wretched chest down to the lake
Cast it into the watery depths
Sink the damned thing to the bottom
Get this ling snake out of my life forever
The beast won't stop its incessant growing
Terror!
The thing won't stop growing
When is enough enough?
It's grown too big
It's so big now we cannot cope with it
It eats our people one by one
It really is intolerable to see our loyal townsfolk gobbled up one by one
The venom sprays are constantly poisoning us
It must be slain
♪
Send for the Finns, they'll know just what to do
We know they are a brave race of men, and true
They have killed many a similar beast
With the victors, we'll celebrate with a feast
We are Finns
We are brave and true
Swim down under the water
Brave Finns ready for slaughter
It seems there is another
The monster's larger brother
Set chains fit to restrain them
Bring an end to the mayhem
We will try to grab its flippers and its tail
We will try to tie it down, fight tooth and nail
We must restrain it, fight tooth and nail
Fight tooth and nail, fight tooth and nail
Fight tooth and nail, fight tooth and nail
Fight tooth and nail, fight tooth and nail
Fight tooth and nail, fight tooth and nail
Fight tooth and nail, fight tooth and nail
