That old Jackfish swimming up the stream,
I asked that Jackfish what did he mean.
Grabbed that Jackfish by the snout,
Then I pulled that Jackfish wrong side out.
Sing fee-doh, fi-doh sindy sindy,
Fee-doh, fi-doh sindy sue.
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt,
His name is my name too.
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout:
"John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!"
Da da da da da da da da !
Old John the Rabbit, oh yes !
Old John the Rabbit, oh yes !
Had a mighty bad habit, oh yes !
Of going to my garden, oh yes !
And eating all my peas, oh yes !
And cutting all my cabbage, oh yes !
He ate tomatoes, oh yes !
And sweet potatoes oh yes !
And if I live oh yes !
To see next fall oh yes !
I won’t have oh yes !
A garden at all !
1. Open, shut them,
Open, shut them,
Give a little clap.
Open, shut them,
Open, shut them,
Hide them in your lap.
2. Creep them, creep them,
Creep them, creep them,
Right up to your chin.
Open wide your little mouth,
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in.

Ouvre-les, ferme-les
Tape des mains
Ouvre-les, ferme-les
Cache-les sous les genoux
