Hunden skäller och tuppen gal, tuppen han gal, elden slår i spisen. Lövet darrar i liten grön dal, liten grön dal, liten dal lätt för morgonbrisen. Svalan flyger i himlens sky, klaraste sky, vitaste sky på taken. Klockan ringer till otta i by, bing bång, otta i by. Nu är dockan vaken. Käraste dockan min, god dag, nicka god dag, skratta högt i sängen. Livet leker ett litet tag. Glad är du och glad är jag, gladast mor på ängen.
