De Welt is ein Klock, hürt mal tau!
Wi Frugenslüüd’ sünd de Unrauh.
Wi koen’n taugliek väl maken,
Kind soegen, knütten un kaaken.
Wi stahn bi de Firma den’n Mann.
De Scheff lött uns blot nich ran.

The world runs like clockwork, you know,
And we women are who make it go.
Multi-tasking is what we do best:
Knitting, cooking … give baby the breast.
We can do any job if we get it.
But promotion? The boss says, “Forget it!”
