      Ge mig en svårknäckt nöt, sötare gröt, djupare dopp i grytan. Glittrigare glim och grötigare rim, och mer Arne Weise i rutan. Jag vill ha rymligare säck, segare knäck, fetare fläsk från grisen. Krimsigare krams, längre långdans, och raskare räv på isen.

Glitterier glimmer and porridgier/messier rhymes [see grötrim], and more Arne Weise [Christmas TV host] on TV [in the screen].
