真有趣儿
小胖小子儿真有趣儿
你可爱死个人儿
小胖小子儿胖大大儿
你是谁家的爱娃娃
买美人儿买美人儿
买到家里作个看家人儿
有人儿没人儿
不用锁门儿
What a bonny little fellow is this fat boy of mine!
He makes people die of joy!
What a fine little fellow is this fat boy of mine!
Now whose is this loving little boy?
Do you want to buy a beauty?
Do you want to buy a beauty?
If you buy him he will watch your house,
And do it as his duty.
And no matter as to servants,
You may have them or may not,
But you'll never need to lock your door,
Or give your house a thought.
