Chiffon, Chiffonnette

When I was a little girl
At family meals
I waited for Sunday to come
Grandma to entertain us
Would play with
Pretty white cloth dolls

{Chorus:}
Chiffon and Chiffonnette
Two little napkins
Left the table on a beautiful feast day
Chiffon and Chiffonnette
Wanted to get to know each other
That's how little puppets do

{Spoken:}
Hello Mrs. Chiffonnette
How pretty you are, I invite you to dance!
Oh! Thank you Mr. Chiffon
I am so happy and moved
They danced all night
Then one day at the town hall
In front of the knives and forks
They each answered
That they would never leave each other
Their most beautiful gifts were plates

{to Chorus}
Today at home
Little girls and boys
Turn their napkins into puppets
When it's time to go to bed
They take for the night
Their little Chiffons, their Chiffonnettes

{to Chorus, 2x}
