One more time
We're tired, we're tired, we're tired!
The kittens began to mew:
"We're tired of mewing! We want to oink like pigs!"
Meow, meow, meow meow meow meow...
Oink!
Meow meow, meow meow meow...
Oink!
And behind them the ducklings said: "We don't want to quack anymore!"
"We want to croak like frogs!"
The piglets began to mew: "Meow! Meow!"
The cats began to oink: "Oink oink oink!"
The ducks began to ribbit:
"Ribbit, ribbit!"
The chicks began to quack:
Quack! Quack! Quack!
The sparrow galloped about, and like a cow bellowed:
Moooo!
Those who are supposed to tweet: Do not purr!
Those who are supposed to purr: Do not tweet!
A crow isn't cut out to be a cow!
Frogs aren't made to fly under the clouds!
Frogs flying in the sky...
Fish strolling through a field...
The mice catching cats in a trap they placed
But the silly animals, the pigs and the bears
Made even more commotion. They didn't want to listen to the hare.
Then the little foxes took matches
and lit the blue sea on fire
As the sea went up in flames, a whale jumped out and said:
"Hey, there's a fire! Run! Help! Help!"
The crocodile put out the fire for a long, long time
with pies and pancakes and dried mushrooms
Two chicks came running and poured water from a barrel
Froggies came running and poured from a tub
Two fish swam up and poured from a ladle
They tried and tried but couldn't put out the fire
They poured and poured but it wouldn't go out.
Then a butterfly flew up and waved its wings
The fire on the sea started to die, and went out
Look how happy the animals were!
They laughed and sang
Clapping with their ears, and stomping their feet
The frogs croaked: "Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!"
and the ducks quaked: "Quack, quack, quack!"
