Lyric
(Gentleman)
Greeting Her lover in the First month, Lady living alone in private chamber.
Eating a betel palm; Holding the coral and waiting for her darling. hai a loa lo di hai
e a lo di a, e a lo di e a li do hai a loa lo di hai.
(Lady)
Spring is coming in the Second month, An rascal boating on the river yet.
Eating on the boat; sleeping in the boat too. The water ghost will haul you away.
No soul; no mind; and no spirit. hai a loa lo di hai
e a lo di a, e a lo di e a li do hai a loa lo di hai.
(Third month…to….12th month)
(男)
正月人啊人迎尪，單身娘仔咿嘟守空房。
嘴食檳榔咿嘟面抹粉，手捧珊瑚咿嘟等待君，
咿嘟咳呀囉的咳，嘿呀囉的嘿，嘿呀囉的嘿呀，咿嘟咳呀囉的咳。
(女)
二月立啊立春分，無好狗拖咿嘟撐渡船，
船頂食飯咿嘟船底睏，水鬼拖去咿嘟無神魂，
咿嘟咳呀囉的咳，嘿呀囉的嘿，嘿呀囉的嘿呀，咿嘟咳呀囉的咳。
