Nikkelen Nelis (Zij kon het lonken niet laten)

Come listen to the song that I'm going to sing for you
It's a tragic song about debauchery
It's about a lady from the highest circles
The tendency towards evil, she couldn't control it
So she lost her honor and reputation

She couldn't stop flirting, she flirted with every man
It became too obvious, and oh, trouble came from it

Her husband initially paid no attention to her ailment
Because, oh, he thought: 'she just has something in her eye'
But when after a while she had sunk so deep
That she was still flirting in church from the pew
That's when the moment came for her to leave

She couldn't stop flirting, she flirted with every man
It became too obvious, and oh, trouble came from it

She became a dancer in one of the lowest taverns
She wore only three feathers and sometimes not even three
Sometimes she wore only one feather and if the customers asked for it
The last feather fell to general delight
And she continued to flirt naked with double energy

She couldn't stop flirting, she flirted with every man
It became too obvious, and oh, trouble came from it

But alas, she grew too old, she couldn't attract a man anymore
And she became a cleaner in the old men's home
And while mopping, she still cast seductive glances
Her flirting scared the old folks
And one day she sat next to one through the house

She didn't see her bucket with foam and soap
She stumbled and broke her neck, it was over for her, yes

She couldn't stop flirting, she flirted with every man
Oh girls, be careful, oh, trouble is coming
