Virágéknál ég a világ,
Sütik már a rántott békát,
Zimezum, zimezum,
Recefice bum bum bum.
Váci Gábor odakapott,
Békacombot ropogtatott,
Zimezum, zimezum,
Recefice bum bum bum.
Puskás Mihály későn futott,
Neki csak a fara jutott,
Zimezum, zimezum,
Recefice bum bum bum.
The light is burning at the Virágs’ house;
They are roasting the fried frog.
Zimezum, zimezum,
Recefice boom boom boom.
Gábor Váci made a grab,
He munched a frog leg.
Zimezum, zimezum,
Recefice bum bum bum.
Mihály Puskás arrived too late,
He was only left the butt.
Zimezum, zimezum,
Recefice boom boom boom.
