Elliot Ghoul went to school on a solemn Saturday night
He crept into the music room and sang with all his might.
Now that's not all, he said to himself, I think I'll go down the hall
To first and second and third and fourth, I want to see them all !
Clap your hands, touch your toes,
Turn around and put your finger on your nose.
Flap your arms, jump up high,
Wiggle your fingers and reach for the sky !
Under Baby’s cradle in the night
Stands a goat so soft and snowy white
The Goat will go to the market
To bring you wonderful treats
He’ll bring you raisins and almonds
Sleep, my little one, sleep.
I see the moon, the moon sees me,
God bless the moon and God bless's me.
Tomorrow we'll see the rising sun,
And God bless's all and every one.
Traduction
Je vois la lune, la lune me voit,
Que Dieu bénisse la lune et que Dieu me bénisse.
Demain nous verrons le soleil levant,
Et que Dieu bénisse tout et chacun.
