Hóbó hóbo bobó (4x) 
Brod is buail is tiomáin
Láirín rua na droch-mhná 
Do chos ar an gcéacht a Thomáis 
Is féach `bhfuil ár ndinnéar ag teacht. 
(Freagra Thomáis) Tá sé dhá bhaint.

Hóbó hóbo bobó (4x) 
Hób a héin is tiomáin 
Láirín rua na dea-mhná
Scoir na capaill a Thomáis
Anois tá ár ndinnéar ag teacht.
