Snitt A Little Bittle – The Julekalender
The day when I was born
My father said hello
It was a monday mor’n
On the sofa in the stow
He took my in my krave
Said I know lig’ akkurat
What the boy shall lave
The little kammerat
Cause he shall
Snit a little little little lidt (snit-a-lidt)
Snit a little little little lidt (snit-a-lidt)
Snit a little little little lidt
Just bit by bit lidt after lidt
Cause he could
Snit a little little little lidt (snit-a-lidt)
Snit a little little little lidt (snit-a-lidt)
Snit a little little little lidt
Just bit by bit
Outside my barndomshjem
There was a lot of brædder
And everyone of them
Was snittet by my father
Yes, when I was a little
A little bittle jen
My father snat a fiddle
Dygtigst among mænd
Cause he could
Snit a little little little lidt…
And out there in the køkken
My mother snat some bread
A humble bread was lykken
And this is what she said:
My son, you must love me
Not to end up in a grillbar
In the middle of nowhere
And cook pomfritter
Cause best of all to be
It is to be a snitter
It is to
Snit a little little little lidt (snit-a-lidt)
Snit a little little little lidt (snit-a-lidt)
Snit a little little little lidt
Just bit by bit lidt after lidt
It is to
Snit a little little little lidt (snit-a-lidt)
Snit a little little little lidt (snit-a-lidt)
Snit a little little little lidt
Just bit by bit
Snit a little bittle (Snit a little bittle)
Snit a little bittle (Snit a little bittle)
Snit a little bittle (That’s a funny titel)
Snit a little bittle (Det var det kapitel…)

Om julesangen Snitt A Little Bittle – The Julekalender
“Snitt a Little Bittle” er et nummer fra De Nattergales “The Julekalender”. Titlen viser straks gruppens leg med dansk og engelsk, hvor ord får en ny og ofte komisk lyd. Det blandede sprog er ikke tilfældigt pynt, men en vigtig del af seriens identitet.
Sangen hører til nissernes verden og lader deres måde at tale på blive til musik. Også uden at forstå hver eneste vending kan lytteren høre rytmen og humoren. Det giver nummeret en anden funktion end de julesange, der først og fremmest skal fortælle en klar historie.
I december kan det fremkalde seriens figurer og deres særlige univers. Den viser, at julekalenderens sange også kan blive husket for sprogets lyd og for den fælles latter, det skaber.
