Mireille:
On the way to school each morning
Making sure they won't be late
All the animals are going
With their books they just can't wait.
Emmanuel:
Little mouse wears great big glasses
And the peacock holds a pen
Here's the duck who loves his classes
Baby chicks with mama hare.
Placido:
Five little kittens wearing their mittens
Tend to lag behind
They might be scared, but they won't be spared
From their very first time.
Trio:
On their way to school each morning
You can hear the turtle sigh
She's a huffing and a puffing
Every inch just like a mile.
Mireille:
On the way to school together
Just because they love to learn
Go the beasts by any weather
Always happy to return.
Emmanuel:
See the camel with his knapsack
The giraffe beside the skunk
Baby elephant had sit back
Holding mama by the trunk.
Placido:
Here come the monkeys, the zebras and donkeys
The chickens and the horse
They realise the way to get wise
Is to read of course!
Trio:
Said the turtle to the panda
(When she got to school so late)
Gonna send a note to Santa
Ask him for a pair of skates,
Ask him for a pair of skates!
