Le crocodile

A crocodile, going off to war
Said goodbye to his little children
Dragging his tail, his tail in the dust
He was going to fight the elephants.

{Chorus, x2}
Ah! The crocrocro, the crococo, the crocodiles
On the banks of the Nile, they left, let's not talk about it anymore

[He hummed a military march
Chewing the words with big teeth
When he opened his whole mouth
One could see his enemies inside.]

He waved his tail in the dust
As if he were already triumphant
The animals in front of his haughty look
In the forests, fled all trembling.

{Chorus}

An elephant appeared, and on Earth
A battle of giants was prepared.
But nearby, ran a river:
The crocodile jumped into it suddenly.

{Chorus}

[And filled with a salutary fear
Returned to his little children
Our elephant, with a prouder trunk
Then wanted to accompany this song
