SKVR textEnglish
Ampiaisen pistos.
Ampiaisen pistosta parannetaan sanomalla:
1Ammu, ammu, ampiainen,Buzz, buzz, wasp,
2Toho, toho toisiasi!Take your kin there, there!
3Isäs' on tehty tervaksista,Your father's made of pine tar chunks,
4Veljes' vaskesta valettu.Your brother's cast from copper.
5Pistä piikkis' kätköön,Hide your stinger away,
6Kuonos' työnnä kyntes' alle!Shove your snout beneath your claws!
