Lyrics - French
(French folk song)
Ainsi font, font, font
Les petites marionnettes,
Ainsi font, font, font
Trois p’tits tours et puis s’en vont.
Les mains aux côtés,
Sautez, sautez, marionnettes,
Les mains aux côtés,
Marionnettes, recommencez.
English Translation - They do, do, do this way
They do, do, do this way
The little puppets
They do, do, do this way
Three little turns
And then they go away.
Hands together,
Jump, jump, puppets
Hands together,
Puppets again.
