Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
Tell me! 
Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
Did you see my little hen running?
I want to pull my hair out!

Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
Tell me! 
Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
As I was sitting next to the rascal,
She was still eating her feed!

Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
Tell me! 
Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
What will my mother say!
She’ll chase me out the door!

Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
Tell me! 
Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
I must quickly run into the city,
Must buy another little hen!

Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
Tell me! 
Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
Go up and down the streets,
And find my little hen once more!

Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
I have you! 
Oh, my little hen, peep peep!
My mother gives me crumbs,
So that I might lure my little hen.

Oh, my little hen, peep peep peep!
Peep peep, and the morsels, I swallow!
