Verse
Hey young lady
Don't help your father work in the fields
She is dreaming of going out with her teacher at home
She is frustrated because her father doesn't go to the fields
She tries to check her fortune
She wants to be the principal's wife
If not, a regular teacher will do
A bad girl tries to become a hairdresser
A bad girl tries to be a seamstress
They're dreaming of dating a teacher, you idiots
You'd be better off with me
If I say too much, you'll get sad and wipe your tears on your knees
Don't get crazy about someone who doesn't even have a baht bill in his wallet
Of all people, a male teacher (Repeat)
Hook
Hey young lady
Listen to me, you platinum-skinned beauty
More full of beauty than anyone else
Ever since I came out of my mother's belly
I've never seen anyone more beautiful than you
I want to be in love with you
Don't come and show me off, arm in arm with another man
You look down on me like I'm uncool and get the hell out of here
She's a woman who does her business on the ground
If she eats rice, she'll put plala (*2) in her nam prik (*3)
Or is she eating the offerings?
Her small, lithe body is a feast for the eyes
I only eat frogs with big eyes
I don't like to show my poor body
I'd like to be your paramour
I don't want to be embarrassed
You're very pretty, young lady
She has red hair and looks like a fake westerner
