[Verse 1]
You know, dear boys and bird
There's one thing that I've learned
It's a very common saying
Among all us metallurgists
I'm a blacksmith, not a wordsmith
But the way things like this work is
One must time one's combinations and consternations perfectly

[Verse 2]
Take the baker for example
For dough can be a handful
He needs to knead and let it sit
And rise, but he must not forget
To make the fire in the oven ample

[Verse 3]
I think by now you've got
The answer that you've sought
The way to win dear Adelaidе's heart
Is to strike while thе iron is hot
