There are various slightly different versions of the songs, collected at different times, beginning in the nineteenth century.
The supporters of the two main Osses, the Blue Ribbon Oss and the Old Oss or red Oss, sell song sheets in the streets to the onlookers, presumably to go towards funding the festivities. Those are what the guy in the Old Oss tabard is holding.
I have notes of various versions of the lyrics and where they were printed, also the two song-sheets I bought this year, the red sheet and the blue sheet. If you are interested in more info on this, I could tell you more by email. My email address is on my lj profile page.
