Gruel with milk is all you joy.
You'd prefer it creamy, I'll bet;
But cream's something you will not get.

Frankie boy, Frankie boy,
dobrá kaša na mlíku,
Gruel with milk is all you joy.
ešce lepší na smetane,
You'd prefer it creamy, I'll bet;
ale sa ti nedostane!
But cream's something you will not get.
