Тень‑Тень
 (Sung text for setting by V. Kalinnikov)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Тень-тень, потетень,
Выше города плетень.
Сели звери под плетень,
Похвалялися весь день.
Похвалялася лиса:
«Всему свету я краса!»
Похвалялся зайка:
«Поди, догоняй-ка!»
Похвалялися ежи:
«У нас шубы хороши!»
Похвалялись блохи:
«И у нас не плохи!»
Похвалялся медведь:
«Могу песни я петь!»
Похвалялася коза:
«Всем вам выколю глаза!»
