Lyrics
(Swedish folk tune, Translation: Carolyn Sherwin Bailey)
1. We will wash our clothes, we’ll wash them,
We will wash our clothes just so.
Refrain
Tra la, la la la,
Tra la, la la la,
Tra la, la la la,
Wash just so!
2. …knead a loaf, we’ll knead it…
3. …plant a garden, plant it…
4. …reap the oats, we’ll reap them…
5. Will you come and skip so lightly,
One and two and off we go!
Last Refrain
Tra la, la la la, Tra la, la la la,
Tra la, la la la, Off we go!
Motions
