Work, work and work all dagen through
Work, work and work it's nok to do
No food no hvil it is so trist
I think we all have lost the gnist
Yeah it's hard to be a nissemann
Yeah it's hard to be a nisse
Nånn can have free when it is jul
Free both from arbeid and from school
But when you are a nissemann
That's simpelthen not nå you kainn
Yeah it's hard to be a nissemann
Yeah it's hard to be a nisse
Yeah it's hard to be a nissemann
Yeah it's hard to be a nisse
