Jenny kissed me when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in; Time, you thief, who love to get Sweets into your [list]1, put that in: Say I'm weary, say I'm sad, Say that health and wealth have missed me, Say I'm growing old, but add Jenny kissed me.

Jannie zoende me, uit de stoel Waar zij in zat opgesprongen. Tijd, jij dief, die elk gevoel Op den duur hebt weggedrongen - Noem mij oud, versleten, kaal, Geef voor alles me onvoldoende, Maar vergeet niet, dat me eenmaal Jannie zoende.
