Lyrics in English
Down in the forest near a village lived the man called Nick the chopper
Chopping woods his game and making money
Carrying logs for trees he blinds the chops on never to be married
He never washes, he never went to school
Nick the chopper chopping woods his game and getting money
Doesn't care for life or even for a friend
He's a dirty old man, Nick the chopper
He's a dirty old man, Nick the chopper
We're going to kill you, Nick the chopper
Strangle you with branches, Nick the chopper
Now a very old man, he had decided to make his fortune
Nick the chopper chopping woods his game, he couldn't stop it
He wants to cut down all the forest, the trees they hated him
They made a promise, give him a lesson
Nick the chopper chopping woods his game, he couldn't stop it
Well as the story goes he's beat and it is game
He's a dirty old man, Nick the chopper
He's a dirty old man, Nick the chopper
We're going to kill you, Nick the chopper
Strangle you with branches, Nick the chopper
