Бесплатный фрагмент - One, two, three… little songs

                        THE RHYME

I’ll sing for you, my dear,

One, two, three… little songs.

Watch your step climbing up

One, two, three… in your thongs.

Just look up at the sky

One, two, three… shiny stars.

Roses are flowering

One, two, three… in the yards.

Chorus:

I’m smiling, I am just —

One, two, three… having fun!

All together —

One, two, three… we’ll go far.

Look! Brook is running there,

One, two, three,

So am I.

Look! Plane is flying there,

One, two, three,

Fly, fly, fly.

Here comes the rain…

Gather one, two, three,

These mushrooms!

We all will read,

One, two, three,

Lovely magic books.

                                HEDGEHOG

Little crust, little crust,

Little crust of bread was lying.

Waiting for petty mouse,

Little crust was almost crying.

All in thought: «Where is mouse?

I badly need her coming!

Getting dry, Getting stale,

Nobody knows, I’m crumbing…»

Chorus:

Prickly hedgehog promenading around

Found little crust and was singing aloud.

Tra-la-la,

Tra-la-la,

And was singing aloud,

Tra-la-la,

Tra-la-la,

And was singing aloud.

Petty mouse walked around

Looking for some bread and sighing.

Underneath, on the floor

Little crust was always lying.

Petty mouse, all in grief, searching for little crust honing,

About prickly hedgehog the mouse not even knowing.

                          REDDISH ORANGE

Tubby teddy bear is climbing up the stairs,

He dreams of being thinner, wants to gain lightness.

Chorus:

He’s keeping to a diet, he said «goodbye» to food,

And even reddish orange can not change his mood.

The doll is in a hurry too, she wants to meet her friends.

Wearing dress with thingies, oh, she knows all fashion trends.

Chorus:

Fun-loving toys are also just taking some fresh air,

They don’t look at the orange, they just do not care.

                             SHADY SHADE

Little red kitty was walking around,

Singing hilarious songlet aloud.

Sunshine and blue sky — the day was so great,

Under the bush — shade!

Starling was flying and looking for bugs.

Red kitty saw him and gave him warm hugs.

Cried to the starling: «Mew! Hey you, hey you,

How old are you? Mew!»

Chorus:

Shade, shade, shady shade,

Walking is so great.

Day-day, ding-dong day,

Cheerful sunshiny day.

Starling is kitty’s best friend now — good guy,

Kitty — believe me — has learned how to fly.

Starling meows every morning aloud,

Both friends are so proud.

                        KITTY AND CUTLET

Sappy tasty cutlet lying on a parquet.

Kitty plays with cutlet, kit is so unlucky.

Mice are roaming somewhere, kitty hardly knows it.

Sappy tasty cutlet — kitty often chows it.

Chorus:

The cutlet, the cutlet is skimming the parquet.

Kit’s dreaming of ears and tail.

He is very homey, he feels very lonely,

But knows he will meet mice someday.

Please, tell him just where are they!

Autumn is approaching, birds are flying away.

Cunning reddish kitty’s making plans in this way:

«I am very lucky, I will meet the pigeons.

I will catch all pigeons from the nearest regions».

Chorus:

The cutlet, the cutlet is skimming the parquet.

Kit’s dreaming of pinions and tail.

He is very homey, he feels very lonely,

But knows he will meet birds someday.

Please, tell him just where are they!

                                   SOUPBONE

Shaggy dog is lying on settee.

(Shaggy dog is lying on the bed)

He can’t wait to ask something from me:

(Looking sad and waitin’ to be fed)

Will I get a soupbone or will not?

You’ll get, you’ll get, you’ll get hot and hot.

(Sure you will, you will, you will, why not?)

Wait, my darling pet, an hour or so.

I will cook the bullion — nice, you know.

Will you get a soupbone or will not?

You’ll get, you’ll get, you’ll get hot and hot.

(Sure you will, you will, you will, why not?)

Cooking, cooking, cooking tasty broth.

Let us start the dinner! — Yes, of course.

Will you get a soupbone or will not?

You’ll get, you’ll get, you’ll get hot and hot.

(Sure you will, you will, you will, why not?)

                           WICKED CHILDREN

Lovely sweety teddy bear

Living in the void playroom.

Sitting on the dusty case,

Cause for him there is no place.

For some years can’t understand —

He was loved, but then outcast.

Dirty ball left on the floor.

Broken Pierrot rusting fast.

Chorus:

Wicked children — they are many

They are many on the planet.

Mummies, mummies, don’t do that!

Don’t spoil children — it’s so sad.

Wicked children — they are many —

Aren’t born wicked on this planet.

Mums should bring them up rightly —

And the toys’ll live happily.

Mum is entering the shop,

Son is teasing the old cop.

Daughter’s tromping her left foot —

Such behaviour’s no good!

Lovely sweety teddy bear

Shakes his fluffy dusty paw.

He wants help the children out,

They should be wicked no more.

                                     SPIDER

First butterfly and

Hoarfrost at daybreak.

Coolness is felt near puddles.

First foalfoot flower and first flakes of

Snow.

Woods gets from spring warm cuddles.

Chorus:

Good old spider,

Good fat spider,

Good good spider,

Lives in the house, having no spouse,

Having no da,

He shakes up dust,

He deserves trust, he has much wit.

He is so fast bearing good news.

Waiting for it,

Waiting for it.

Deserted house, longheaded gnat

Singing songs and dancing dances.

It is so droll.

Why he’s awake?

Spring woke him up by bright glances.

                                        BONNET

Bonnet is hanging, bonnet is breathi

Bonnet has life, she is existing.

Mother and daughter wore it with pleasure,

She will be happy and treated like treasure.

Chorus:

Bonnet’s springtime slips fast

Best friends are moth and dust.

Bonnet’s springtime slips fast

Best friends are moth and dust.

Moth and dust.

One day the daughter found the bonnet.

She said «hello», sneezed and upturned it.

Daughter sighed loudly — it needed cleaning —

Looked in the mirror and squinted with meaning.

Bonnet has seen much, bonnet has felt much,

Bonnet got wiser laying in tight hutch.

Daughter, granddaughter wore it with pleasure,

She will be happy and treated like treasure.
