Voici Poucelot

Jeu de doigts

(French)

Voici Poucelot
Qui est tombé dans l'eau,
Le bonhomme l'a repêché
Ce bonhomme l'a rapporté
Ce bonhomme l'a couché
Et ce coquin-là
A tout raconté

Here is Tom Thumb

Finger Play

(English)

Here is Tom Thumb
Who fell in the water,
The chap fished him out,
This chap carried him back,
This chap put him to bed,
And this rascal there
Told all about it.
