Il était un petit homme, pirouette
Chansons Enfantines
He Was a Little Man, Pirouette
He was a little man,
Pirouette, peanut,
He was a little man
Who had a funny house {x2}
The house is made of cardboard,
Pirouette, peanut,
The house is made of cardboard
The stairs are made of paper {x2}
If you climb up...
You'll break the tip of your nose.
The mailman climbed up...
He broke the tip of his nose
It was patched up...
With pretty golden thread
The nice thread broke...
The tip of the nose flew away
A jet plane...
Caught the tip of the nose
My story is over...
Gentlemen, ladies, applaud!
