Catching mice
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
One, two, three,
One, two, three,
What’s rustling there in the hay?
Don’t you wish to catch the little mouse?
Don’t you wish to catch the little mouse?
Grab it by its tail, its long tail!
Four, five, six,
Four, five, six,
Hey! hey! it’s running away!
It has escaped into the mouse-hole
And has taken its tail along.
