Now young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
|
With his best friend Magnus right by his side
|
They soared through the Milky Way counting the stars
|
Once around Venus, twice around Mars
|
|
Then they spied an island rise out of the sea
|
They fell back to Earth just as free as you please
|
The children all gathered the church bells did ring
|
Suddenly everyone started to sing
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Chanson pour les petits enfants
|
Chanson pour toute le monde
|
Chanson pour les petits enfants
|
Chanson pour toute le monde
|
|
Queen of the island she welcomed them in
|
Asked them questions of where they have been
|
She offered them chocolate she offered them tea
|
They all took their seats in the top of a tree
|
|
And raccoons brought wine and the mice they brought cheese
|
Beautiful birds floated by on the breeze
|
From out of the oceans the dolphins began
|
Humming a tune that soon covered the land
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
So young Princess Lia brought coral and pearls
|
Gifts to the travelers from some other world
|
The Bush doctor mixed up a magical spell
|
Swore them to secrecy, never to tell
|
|
So young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
|
With his best friend Magnus right by his side
|
The sun was rising, they'd be home by noon
|
Humming the words to this magical tune
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Song for the children
|
Song for the world
|
