It’s only me, old Mörkö!
Can I please come and join you?
Please do not run away!
Don’t be afraid of Mörkö:
I don’t mean to annoy you,
No matter what they say
About the scary Mörkö
With pointed teeth to bite you,
Who brings the frost and cold,
I’m sweet and gentle Mörkö
So quiet and polite, you
Could never call me bold!
I’m such a lonely Mörko
I just want to befriend you
No matter what they say.
But when you see a Mörkö
I know that in the end you
Will always run away.
Please don’t.
Please stay.
