The Girl Scouts sing Tancuj as:

Stamp and dance be nimble and merry
But watch the stove do try to be wary
For you must know I have no warm bed
And when it's cold I use it instead

La la la la ... (for entire refrain)

Sentry duty midnight til morn
Ragged shivering, why was I born
Amid the rain I pace keeping guard
A soldier's life is weary and hard

refrain

Tell me, Gypsy, have I lover
Or is there someone I can discover
My pretty maid cross my hand with gold
Your future then at once I've foretold

The first two verses are in "Sing Together" copyright 1973, I learned the third in Colorado a few years earlier.
