Lyrics - Norwegian

(Folk song from Norway)

Mikkel Rev satt og skrev,
PÃ¥ ei lita tavle
Tavla sprakk, Mikkel skvatt,
Oppi pappas flosshatt.

Mikkel Rev skrev et brev
Sendte det til månen
MÃ¥nen sa: “Hipp hurra,”
Sendte det til Afrika.

Afrika, Afrika
ville ikke ha det
Afrika, Afrika sendte det tilbake.
Med ei bløtekake.

English Translation - Mikkel Fox

Mikkel Fox sat and wrote,
On a small board
The board cracked, Mikkel splashed,
On top of dad’s floppy hat.

Mikkel Fox wrote a letter
Sent it to the moon
The moon said, “Hip hooray,”
Sent it to Africa.

Africa, Africa
would not have it
Africa, Africa sent it back.
With a sponge cake.
