Oft werden die Strophen so gesungen, dass nur jeweils dreimal derselbe Satz wiederholt wird.
Oft wird nach jeder Strophe wieder die erste Strophe neu angestimmt.
Auf jeden Fall eignet sich das Lied sehr gut für Tempowechsel, abwechselnden Gesang zwischen einem Vorsänger und einer Gruppe sowie zum pantomimschen Mitspielen und Mitklatschen.
Und natürlich lassen sich auch selbst Strophen hinzudichten.
