Une souris verte

A green mouse
Running in the grass
I catch it by the tail,
I show it to these gentlemen
These gentlemen tell me:
Dip it in oil,
Dip it in water,
It will make a snail
All warm.
I put it in a drawer,
It tells me: 'It's too dark'
I put it in my hat,
It tells me: 'It's too hot'
I put it in my pants,
It makes three little droppings
