La faim

I am hungry.

Five Hungry Mice. (Midi de 1.1 ko)

Written By : Mrs. F.A.B. Dunning
German Popular Air

Five Hungry Mice

Oh, five hungry mice
Found a box full of rice ;
So they ran to the top
With a squeal and a hop,
To eat all the rice
That they knew would taste nice ;
Oh, five hungry mice
And a box full of rice !

Those five hungry mice,
Dived right into the rice ;
And they munched and they crunched
Till they’d eaten a bunch.
They ate all the rice
Cause it tasted so nice ;
No more hungry mice
And no more box of rice !
