Words of the Song:

Bro, bro, brille!
Klokken ringer elleve,
Kejseren står på høje, hvide slot,
Så hvidt some et kridt,
Så sort some et kul,
Fare, fare krigsmand,
Døden må du lide,
Den, som kommer allersids,
Skal i den sorte gryde.
Første gang så la'r vi ham gå,
Anden gang gør vil ligeså,
Tredie gang så ta'r vi ham
Og putter ham i gryden
