| Schnapps: | Ev'ry Dutchman when he wakes, A little piece of cheese he takes — |
| Slinks: | Partakes — |
| Hook: | Mother takes cheese as well. |
| Schnapps: | While a pot of tea he brews A little piece of cheese he chews — |
| Slinks: | Pa chews — |
| Hook: | Mother chews cheese as well. |
| Schnapps: | Pa and Ma sit up in bed. Presently when both have fed — Pa's got a cold inside his head. |

| Hook: | Mother's caught cold as well. |

| Slinks: | The dwelling — |
| Hook: | The apartment — |
| Schnapps: | The dwelling, apartment, or anything you please; It comes in very handy when you want To catch a little mouse. |

| Hook: | Or a rodent — |
| Trio: | Oh, a marvellous thing is cheese! |
| Chorus: | There's nothing like a little bit of cheese To keep about the house — The dwelling, the apartment — The dwelling, apartment, or anything you please; It comes in very handy when you want To catch a little mouse. A vermin, or a rodent — Oh, a marvellous thing is cheese! |

| Slinks: | Also — |

| Hook: | Mother's brought cheese as well. |
| Chorus: | Mother's brought cheese as well. There's nothing like a... |
| Schnapps: | little bit of cheese If you are fond of games — |
| Slinks: | Such as croquet — |
| Hook: | Or marbles — |
| Schnapps: | Ping-pong, snooker, or anything you please; It's useful for a hundred diff'rent pastimes, Never mind their names — |
| Slinks: | The descriptions, |
| Hook: | The appellations, |
| Trio: | Oh, a marvellous thing is cheese! |
| Chorus: | There's nothing like a little bit of cheese If you are fond of games — Such as croquet, or marbles — Ping-pong, snooker, or anything you please; It's useful for a hundred diff'rent pastimes, Never mind their names — The descriptions, the appellations — Oh, a marvellous thing is cheese! |
| Schnapps: | Many a Dutchman going to bed On a little piece of cheese has fed — |
| Slinks: | Has fed — |
| Hook: | Mother's upset as well. |
| Schnapps: | In the night sometimes he'll scream, Awaking from an awful dream — |
| Slinks: | Bad dream — |
| Hook: | Mother will dream as well. |
| Schnapps: | Angry words will follow that, Both of them get tit for tat; Pa will perhaps throw something at — |
| Chorus: | Oh, dear! Oh, dear! |
| Hook: | Mother can throw as well. |
| Chorus: | Mother can throw as well! There's nothing like a... |
| Schnapps: | little bit of cheese If you should have a quarrel — |
| Slinks: | A hub-bub — |
| Hook: | A game of cards — |
| Schnapps: | A hub-bub, game of cards, or anything you please; The effects of throwing little bits of cheese Are physical and moral — |
| Slinks: | Most painful, |
| Hook: | Most clinging, |
| Trio: | Oh, a marvellous thing is cheese! |
| Chorus: | There's nothing like a little bit of cheese If you should have a quarrel — A hub-bub, a game of cards — A hub-bub, game of cards, or anything you please; The effects of throwing little bits of cheese Are physical and moral — Most painful, most clinging, Oh, a marvellous thing is cheese! |
