Voilà c’que le p’tit Noël 
M’apporte en cadeau du ciel.

Bé, bé, bé, bé, 
Un ânon qui fait hi-han!
Hi-han! Hi-han! Refrain

Ouah, ouah, ouah, ouah, 
Une vache qui fait mou, mou,
Mou, mou, mou, mou. Refrain

Br, br, br, br, 
Un canard qui fait coin, coin,
Coin, coin, coin, coin. Refrain

4. Une poule qui fait cott, cott
Cott, cott, cott, cott,
Un coq qui fait coqu’rico,
Coqu’rico, coqu’rico. Refrain

5. Un jupon qui fait flic-floc,
Flic-floc, flic-floc 
Un violon qui fait zin, zin’,
Zin’, zin’ zin’, zin’. Refrain

6. Une clochette qui fait ding, ding,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, 
Une trompette qui fait ta tarata ta,
Ta tarata ta. Refrain
