by Michel Veber (1896 - 1965), as Nino

Quat' et trois sept!
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Quat' et trois sept et trois dix et trois treize, 
Cinq et cinq dix et cinq quinze et cinq vingt. 
Quat' et quat' huit et quat' douze et quat' seize. 
Quat fois deux huit trois fois sept vingt et un. 

Si maman me donne, 
Pour mon mal de gorge 
Dix boules de gomme 
Et dix sucres d'orge; 
Sans hésitation 
Je fais l'opération. 
Mais s'il faut soustraire dix bonbons pour le rhume, 
S'il faut les ôter de dix bonbons pour la toux, 
Je pose me plume 
Et je retiens tout. 

Quat' et trois sept et trois dix et trois treize, 
Cinq et cinq dix et cinq quinze et cinq vingt. 
Quat' et quat' huit et quat' douze et quat' seize. 
Quat fois deux huit trois fois sept vingt et un.
