Iene Miene Mom

chorus:
Iene miene mom, Iene miene mom
Iene miene mom, Iene miene mom
Iene miene mom, Iene miene mom
Iene miene mom, Iene miene mom

chorus (2x)

Chop with the axe, poke with the awl
Crack with the whip, row with the oar
Sweep with the broom, crow with the rooster
Here comes the bride, round like the moon
Wake up, wake up

chorus.

Bright as a bat, cool as an owl
Sweet and haunting like a wolf's howl
That's my darling, fierce as a thorn
Loves me back, just like I’m sworn

Iene miene mom, Iene miene mom
Iene miene mom, Iene miene mom

Wet is the mist, blind is the moon
Should I hit him with the birch broom?
Mushrooms and fungi make me look fine
Here’s your bride in her loveliest design
Wake up, wake up

chorus.

In a spin, the curve comes in
Lay down a handkerchief, don’t tell a soul
Shepherd, let your sheep go free
Round like the moon, round like the moon

Iene miene mom, Iene miene mom
Iene miene mom, Iene miene mom

Cross on the belly, tapping on the wall
Marry a falcon with a distant call
With a good friend, who doesn’t deserve
With a young man, sparks in the curve
Wake up, wake up

chorus.
