1. The rat grabbed my legs
My slippers fell off in fright

2. And my worn-out trousers
And weak undershirt

3. They marched around me loudly
Beating their tambourines

4. I said what's this? They said
You're the groom on his wedding day

5. For an hour they paraded
Against my will and desire

6. They pecked and spent the night
Without my family under my blanket

7. They licked and said
The smell of musk in the bedroom

8. They slapped my bride until
She collapsed overwhelmed
