The wheels on the vardo go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the vardo go round and round
All through An Tir

(Roll hands over each other)

The axles on the vardo goes creak creak creak
Creak creak creak , creak creak creak
The axles on the vardo goes creak, creak, creak
All through An Tir

(Cover eyes with hands)

The whip on the vardo goes snap snap snap
Snap snap snap, snap snap snap
The whip on the vardo goes snap snap snap
All through An Tir

(Make whip-like motion with arn and wrist)

The pots in the vardo goes clang clang clang,
Clang clang clang, clang clang clang
The pots in the vardo goes clang clang clang,
All through An Tir

(Move side to side as if against walls)

The door on the vardo goes open and shut
Open and shut, open and shut
The door on the vardo goes open and shut
All through An Tir

(Cover eyes with hands on 'shut' and uncover them on 'open')

The baby on the vardo says, "Wah wah wah!
Wah wah wah, wah, wah wah!"
The baby on the vardo says, "Wah, wah, wah!"
All through An Tir

(Fisted hands in front of eyes and rub them like baby crying)

The Gypsys in the vardo say, "Shh, shh, shh,
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh"
The Gypsys in the vardo say, "Shh, shh, shh"
All through An Tir

(Put pointer finger to mouth to 'shhh')

The mommy on the vardo says, "I love you,
I love you, I love you"
The daddy on the vardo says, "I love you, too"
All through An Tir

(Point to self on 'I', right hand over heart on 'love', and point to other on 'you')
