And Berta was spinning
And she was spinning the wool
The wool and the asbestos
Of the saint's dress
That was going on the pyre
And while it was burning
He was screaming and crying
And the people were saying
Look at that saint
Dressed in asbestos

And Berta was spinning
And she was spinning with Mario
And she was spinning with Gino
And the baby was born
Who was not Mario's
Who was not Gino's

And Berta was spinning
She was spinning straight
And she was spinning sideways
And she was spinning, spinning
And she was spinning the wool

(And she was spinning, spinning
And she was spinning, spinning
And she was spinning, spinning
And she was spinning, spinning
And she was spinning, spinning)

And Berta was spinning
And Berta was spinning and spinning the wool
She was spinning the asbestos
Of the saint's dress
That was going on the pyre
And while it was burning
He was screaming and crying
And the people were saying look at that saint
Dressed in asbestos

And Berta was spinning
She was spinning with Mario
She was spinning with Gino
And the baby was born
Who was screaming and crying
And the people were saying look at that saint

And Berta was spinning
She was spinning with Gino
She was spinning the baby
Rocking, rocking
She was spinning the asbestos
And Berta was spinning
