Five hundred dollars, friends, I lost:
Woman even sell me cat and horse!
Heya! Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Everybody!
(Matilda,) Sing out the chorus,
(Matilda,) Sing a little louder,
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Once again now!
(Matilda,) Going 'round the corner,

Then she got a serious plan,
A-hey, ah!

Stuck up in a pillow beneath me head.

All me money gone in vain!
Uh, heya...
