Les poissons, les poissons
Ça ne sent pas tellement bon
Les poissons, les poissons
Ça a les yeux ronds
(x2)

Les poissons, i, i, i
Les poissons, on, on, on
Les poissons, i, i, i
Ça nage trés bien
(x 2)

Les oiseaux, les oiseaux
Ça mange les escargots
Les oiseaux, les oiseaux
Et ça vole haut
(x2)

Les oiseaux, i, i, i
Les oiseaux, o, o, o
Lesoiseaux, i, i, i
Ça vole trés bien
(x 2)

Des lapins, des lapins
Il y en a plein mon jardin
Des lapins, des lapins
Qui mangent les raisins
(x2)

Les lapins, i, i, i
Les lapins, in, in, in
Les lapins, i, i, i
Ça saute trés bien
(x 2)

English Translation
(Not performed on the album.)

The fish, the fish
They don’t smell so good
The fish, the fish
They have round eyes 

The fish i, i, i
The fish on, on, on
The fish i, i, i
They swim very well

The birds, the birds
They eat snails
The birds, the birds
And they fly high

The birds i, i, i
The birds o, o, o
The birds i, i, i
They fly very well

Rabbits, rabbits
My garden is full of them
Rabbits, rabbits
Eating the grapes  

The rabbits i, i, i
The rabbits in, in, in
The rabbits i, i, i
They jump very well
