Moj Lizoček tak už mal, tak už mal,
čto iz kryl'ëv komariški
sdelal dve sebe maniški,
i - v krachmal, i - v krachmal!

Moj Lizoček tak už mal, tak už mal,
čto iz greckogo orecha
sdelal stul, čtob slušat' ėcho,
i kričal, i kričal!

Moj Lizoček tak už mal, tak už mal,
čto iz skorlupy jaičnoj
faėton sebe otličnyj
zakazal, zakazal!

Moj Lizoček tak už mal, tak už mal,
čto iz skorlupy račonka
sšil četyre bašmačonka
i - na bal, i - na bal!

Moj Lizoček tak už mal, tak už mal,
čto iz listika sireni
sdelal zontik on dlja teni
i guljal, i guljal!

Moj Lizoček tak už mal, tak už mal,
čto naduvši oduvančik,
zakazal sebe divančik,
tut i spal, tut i spal!

Moj Lizoček tak už mal, tak už mal,
čto natkat' sebe cholstiny
pauku iz pautiny
zakazal, zakazal!

Note (provided by Laura Prichard): Tchaikovsky wrote this in 1881 and it was published as a single issue by Jurgenson. In the late 1880s, he added it as "no. 16" to the already-published fifteen op. 54 songs (published in 1883).
